Johns Hopkins...right
Johns Hopkins has two of the most rabid pro-circumcision doctors of all time on their staff, Dr. Gray and Dr. Tobian. Dr. Gray is one of the authors of one of the three famous African studies. He was strongly biased towards circumcision before the study, and his views have not changed. Twice now, Dr. Gray has co-authored books with well known Australian circumcision promoter Brian Morris. Morris has authored such reputable articles as "Why circumcision is a biomedical imperative for the 21st century. Here are some quotes from Morris, just so you know the company Dr. Gray keeps.
"Because parents have been encouraged not to circumcise their kids, what we're now seeing is a big rise in number of uncircumcised males entering the sexually active community." . Uh, hasn't this been true since the beginning of time?
"Boys and men who are not circumcised can be a source of irritation if they do not retract the foreskin when they urinate, as 'splatter' will occur.". Gee, no splatter with circumcised males, is there?
"Millions of lives will be saved by universal circumcision". Based on what fantasy?
And now, a quote from Dr. Gray of Johns Hopkins:
"We've never used surgery to prevent an infectious disease. It's a completely new concept, a new paradigm. How can we train all the surgeons to do this procedure and equip them.". No kidding. It violates "first, do no harm".
Why do the Europeans not have these problems, and these expenses, one wonders?
