A member asked:
Can you tell me if male circumcision is a humane procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes if done humanely: In newborn's this means applying anesthetic cream to numb penile skin, or using a local anesthetic. Should not be done under general anesthesia before age 6 months. From then on, is humane if done under general anesthesia.
