	Critical Analysis of the 1999 AAP Statement on Infant Circumcision
		Mueller that found little difference in UTI among between circumcised and intact boys and that the common cause in both was abnormalities in the genitourinary tract, not the presence or absence of a foreskin.
		The AAP failed to indicate that the current U.S. custom of male circumcision was started by the medical community (see: A Short History of Circumcision in the Physicians' Own Words) and therefore the medical community bears a responsibility to actively work for the elimination of physician involvement in non-therapeutic circumcision.
		The AAP, like the rest of the medical community, bears a responsibility to parents to investigate what the exact incidence of complications is. An intolerable situation exists where hospitals and doctors do not adequately record these incidents (or they record the cause as something other than circumcision).
