Un site anglophone très complêt sur la circoncision

"I realize this is anecdotal, but it's interesting. When I had my second child, a daughter, she was difficult to breastfeed in the hospital because she was such a sleepyhead. I remarked on this problem to a nurse and she readily assured me that 'all of the circumcised babies have this problem and it will get better in the next couple of days or so'. After clearing with the nurse why this certainly wasn't Isabel's problem, I casually asked her what type of side effects did circumcision sometimes cause. She looked at me stunned as if I had asked her a forbidden question and walked out without a response. Maybe it was the hormones or something, but I started to feel like I was in a X-files episode.

"When I had my son two years prior, the nurses (at the same hospital) brought the consent form to me TWICE 'to make sure I hadn't changed my mind'. When I asked (the second time they brought the form) what was the medical benefit of circumcision, they just drew a big red X on the form without answering my question. I asked why they did that and they replied, "We don't want to accidently circumcise him." Then they left.
