Article by Dr. Andrew E. MacNeily, FRCSC, FAAP, published in Canada Urological Association Journal: Can Urol Assoc J. 2007 November; 1(4): 395397. Dr. MacNeily addresses the common myths that male infant cicrumcision has medical benefits. Using evidence based analysis, he disputes various claims and gives sound reasons why there is no benefit sufficient to justify infant circumcision.

Unfortunately, Dr. MacNeily does not address the current evidence that refutes many previous studies and information. For example, he says that penile cancer is reduced compared with uncircumcised men, although the American Cancer Society states that other factors contribute to penile cancer.
