Parents face so many difficult decisions when it comes to having a child: decisions about nursing, sleep patterns, discipline, teaching methods and, in the case of boys, whether or not to circumcise. In addition to being the most common surgery for males in the U.S., circumcision has been practiced in various cultures for centuries. Yet when it comes to the health and best interest of your newborn, is circumcision the way to go?

The Schoen Syndrome of Medical Behavior
Your response includes the Groucho Marx Syndrome again. Proper investigation and analysis would be best appropriate for a conclusion.
You have reached the deserving status of a syndrome named for you which will clarify the apex of your career. It is the Schoen Syndrome of Medical Behavior which simply states your contribution to your medical profession. It defines the cause and effect of the sum total of your dedicated works with:
"Impacted reason prophesies diarrheic action from excuses that are but the refuse and winds of digestion."

Manipulating Science to serve ideology
Schoen, the birth of your hypothesis, “Circumcision will reduce AIDS!” Did not draw from the already high rate of various STI's including HIV/AIDS infected Adult Circumcised Males here in America. No, it comes from your desire to simply reduce another man's penis to further massage your own ego. No one should be more than you, my gawd that would be awful! Circumcision has always been a 'Solution in SEARCH of a problem'. Your citations are nothing more than “junk” science. Male circumcision will never protect women, and circumcised men still have to wear a condom. What exactly is your agenda? Oh, and I absolutely agree with “Schoen Syndrome of Medical Behavior” it fits nicely with his “Semmelweis Reflex”.
