A news video about infant circumcision in the Untied States. The reporter documents that the infants feel pain during circumcision because doctors do not like to use general anesthesia and, instead, use a topical pain relief, which has been proven to be ineffective. The reporter concludes that infant circumcision is unnecessary because there is no medical reason to perform routine infant circumcision.

The reporter finds that many parents do not realize what is involved with infant circumcision. The reporter interviews doctors, who describe that when a baby appears to be sleeping during circumcision the baby is really in shock or a semi-coma state. The human rights issues are also presented. That is, infant circumcision violates the autonomy of the infant because a healthy part of the baby is removed without medical necessity. The reporter states that many wish that studies would be performed delving into the motivations of those who advocate circumcision.
