The testimonials on this blog are from real people who (mostly) come from the USA. This blog serves to document common circumcision complications and the prevailing ignorance surrounding this archaic practice. Singly, reports of circumcision harm are dismissed as anecdotal. Collectively, these reports are proof that circumcision damages boys and the men they become. "Intelligence is being able to learn from your mistakes; Wisdom is being able to learn from the mistakes of others."

2.3 ounces of blood
ReplyDeleteOne of the most common deadly complication
of circumcision is hemorrhage. A baby only needs
to lose one ounce of blood to hemorrhage.
And 2.3 ounces to die.
A newborn can lose this amount of blood very,
very quickly and a lot of times the bleeding
isn't noticed until it's too late.
