[2010] Death From Circumcision By Danelle Frisbie studies have found approximately 230 baby boys die each year in the U.S. as a result of circumcision surgery. Another study published last week found at least 117 boys die annually from circumcision surgery as it is reported by hospitals. We're not alone in our estimation that there are likely at least twice as many deaths due to circumcision, because of our non-structured and easy-to-cover-up means of infant mortality reporting. But if we are only looking at research-based documentation, we find an average 174 boys die each year with the documented cause being circumcision surgery. Especially disturbing in these statistics is that the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) continues to issue widespread warnings about choking as one of the highest causes of death among children, despite the fact that a greater number of infants die from circumcision than from choking.

Quotes
A
neurologist who saw the results to postulated that the data indicated that
circumcision affected most intensely the portions of the victim's brain
associated with reasoning, perception and emotions. Follow up tests on the
infant one day, one week and one month after the surgery indicated that the
child's brain never returned to its baseline configuration. In other words, the
evidence generated by this research indicated that the brain of the circumcised
infant was permanently changed by the surgery.
Our problems began when we attempted to publish our findings in the open medical
literature. All of the participants in the research including myself were called
before the hospital discipline committee and were severely reprimanded. We were
told that while male circumcision was legal under all circumstances in Canada,
any attempt to study the adverse effects of circumcision was strictly prohibited
by the ethical regulations. Not only could we not publish the results of our
research, but we also had to destroy all of our results. If we refused to
comply, we were all threatened with immediate dismissal and legal action.
