[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the UTI risk is only studied for the first year of life - just to clarify.

T look at it from a different point of view, no matter what side you are on, do you think the insurance industry had anything to do with the decision? I did hear that Medicaid isn't covering circumcision in a lot of states and this was to try to get them to. Actually, they basically said it in the AAP release. That would make me suspicious no matter which side I'm on.[/quote]

Do you know how studies are performed?  The other data will follow---I'm sure of it.  It is a timeline thing.

I work in the medical field and I have never doubted the benefits of circumcision reading all of the medical studies I have over the years (even as it fell out of fashion in the more natural, yuppy movements of late)...and the fact I actually work in bacteriology and immunology....see a lot of the infections in UTI.  The data is very real.  People's responses are understandably emotional.  A parent's job is to try to take the emotional aspect out of the health equation.  If you honestly weigh the material presented.  As a JHU alumnus--they aren't Kaiser--their studies are the real deal and not politically motivated.[/quote]

Isn't the Hopkins study dealing primarily with the economic aspects?[/quote]
