 Rating: - Simple ExplainedThis book is easy to read and understand, especially for those who want the facts fast. It is a must read for new parents. Dr. Ritter's book should be available for pregnant moms to read in the waiting room. Unfortunately, it is not available in most bookstores and discount chains as all those mass-produced baby care books who give you only vague answers to circumcision questions. Most of these books have 1/2 page pro and con on circumcision and most of the pro arguments are distorted or old data. ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful and reassuringAt 23 years old, I ended up with my very first problem ever with my foreskin. It was damaged by unsafe levels of pool chemicals while I was a lifeguard. Needless to say, I encountered a LOT of bias from doctors going so far as to threaten me that if i "don't cut off what doesn't belong there" I'm going to die of penile cancer.

I recommend this book for parents who place their trust in obstetricians and pediatricians, indeed for ...

I did not know that at the birth of my twin sons in 1997, that no medical orginzation in the world recommended circumcission. I was told that circumcision is your choice and was recommended by my doctors. Never did those doctors tell me what this book reveals. It is an easy to read source of information for any parent thinking of circumcising or to simply to educate yourself about ... Read More Rating: - Should be Required Reading for all Expecting ParentsThis book should be required reading for all expecting parents and their doctors. This book makes it clear that routine circumcision has NO medical benefit. Because it has no medical benefit, NO medical organization in the world recommends it. For example, circumcision does not prevent urinary track infection (urinary track infections are lower in Europe where circumcision is virtually unheard of) and many studies have shown circumcision to increase the rate of HIV infection and the rate of transmitting HIV/AIDS ...
