It was originally directed to another physician-surgeon who refused to educate patients about the full risks of many modern surgical mutilations. Many medical diagnostic and treatment procedures violate informed consent. Patients often have weighted speculums used against their stated will, with damage to sexual sensation. Episiotomies are often performed against the patient's stated will, though medically proven to do more damage than they were designed to prevent, and are hurriedly sutured with the proper layers rarely meeting each other.
Infant circumcision is another such abuse.
It is done without the infant's informed consent. Nor are the parents told of the erogenous and sexual benefits of the foreskin. Circumcision is usually done without anesthesia, causing intense pain during the surgery and continued pain during the two weeks the raw glans lies in urine and feces. It permanently robs the infant of the normal foreskin's erogenous sexual benefits. It violates the infant's right to bodily integrity, violates all seven principles of medical ethics, violates the infant's constitutional right to the persuit of happiness, and violates the infant's fourteenth amendment right to equal protection under the law that guarantees genital integrity to females.
