Out of 100 Circumcised boys:

75 will not readily breastfeed post-op

55 will have adverse reactions from the surgery

35 will have post-op hemorrhaging to one degree or another

31 will develop meatal ulcers

10 will need to have the circumcision surgery repeated to fix prior surgical problems/error
8 will suffer infection at the surgical site

3 will develop post-operative phimosis

2 will have a more serious complication (seizure, heart attack, stroke, loss of penis, death)

1 will require additional immediate surgery and sutures to stop hemorrhage

1 will develop fibrosis

1 will develop phimosis

1 will be treated with antibiotics for a UTI (urinary tract infection)

1 will be treated with antibiotics for surgical site infection

Of those who do receive pain medication for the surgery (about 4% of those boys undergoing circumcision in the U.S.) some will have adverse reactions to the pain medication injected

Out of 100 Intact boys:

2 will be treated with antibiotics for a UTI (fewer if the foreskin is never forcibly retracted)

1 will be told to get cut later in life for one reason or another (fewer if the foreskin is never forcibly retracted)

So your not even going to open your mind to the fact that babies can die from this?

I understand why people don't take "baby died from circumcision" seriously.

What I don't understand is why they think it's okay to do it even if no babies ever died from it at all.

I don't think it is a matter of not "having an open mind"....a tragedy such as death can occur at any time, day or night, circumcised, non-circumcised....we can't live life always being afraid of "what could happen"....I mean....more deaths occur every year from auto accidents then from circumcision....so does that mean you stop getting in a car????
