Is Circumcision Surgery?

Posting Date: 03/01/1999

Most parents don't know what is actually done to a baby when he is circumcised. The baby is placed spread-eagle on his back on a board and his arms and legs are strapped down so that he can't move. His genitals are scrubbed and covered with antiseptic. His foreskin is torn from the glans and slit lengthwise so that the circumcision instrument can be inserted. Then his foreskin is cut off, usually without anesthetic.

Most parents who see a baby being circumcised and how he reacts decide against circumcision and keep their baby intact.
