    There are links and sources throughout if you want to dig deeper.

    The conclusions very much match what I was trying to say: done in a sterile environment by doctors in hospitals with anesthetic, it’s a very safe procedure.

    No, they don’t. It concludes it’s safer in hospitals with anaesthetic, which should be obvious, but that even in those environments, it carries the same risks as any surgical procedure.

    This does not imply that every male circumcision performed results in a complication but it is important to note that there can be serious life‐altering consequences from this procedure, even if it is done correctly.

    Again, even if the complication rate is low (and it’s nowhere near as low as should be acceptable), nearly every instance is preventable by not performing elective surgery on infants.

        Happy to. It’s been a while, but I did a lot of research when I was pregnant with my son, and it made me an advocate against doing it.

        I appreciate that you’re open to discussion and asking for sources.
