Children's health advocates lauded the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) today for its refusal to recommend infant circumcision. The AAP policy has now come in line with all of the other medical societies' circumcision policy statements in the English speaking world. This position underscores the idea -- widely accepted around the world -- that circumcision does not specifically contribute to children's health in any way. In countries that do not circumcise, including all of continental Europe, urological health appears to be as good as, or better, than in the United States.
