while the practice is criticized in Europe, a American-Australian study compares it to the vaccination
A group of American-Australian researchers recommends the circumcision of boys to avoid certain diseases, following a comparative study of practice and vaccination.
According to the team, conducted by Brian Morris of the faculty of medical sciences of Sydney University, half of boys non-circumcised caught a disease caused by foreskin.
"Like a vaccination, the circumcision of newborns should be part of public health policies," have written the three co-authors in their report. The results of the research have been published Wednesday on website specializing in medicine mayoclinicproceedings.org.
In United States, the circumcision rates increased by 81% during the last ten years, indicates the report.
Morris and the co-authors of this study, Stefan A. Bailis of the University of Sydney and Thomas E. Wiswell, a neonatologist in Florida, have indicated, however, that the critical analysis of the output data of the hospitals in United States shows that the circumcision of newborns was in decline in the country.
According to the results of the study, the practice has decreased from 83 per cent in 1960 to 77 per cent in 2010. These results are essentially due to increase Hispanic population, among which the practice is not widespread.
"An analysis of the risks and benefits of diseases against which the neonatal circumcision protects reveals that the benefits are more numerous than the risks, with a ratio of 1 to 100%" indicate the authors in their report entitled: "circumcision rates in United States : rising or falling? what effect could have the new policy statement of affirmative action for pediatrics?"

In August 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics had published a study suggesting that the procedure could protect the heterosexual men of HIV and that the benefits in relation to the health exceeded the risks related to the procedure.
Dozens of European Doctors, for most Scandinavian, had responded in a letter that the position pro-circumcision of the academy was due to a "cultural bias."
The ritual circumcision of boys below the age of 18 years has recently been criticized in the north of Europe.
Many political parties and medical associations, mainly Scandinavian, designate the practice of child abuse.
