In the eighteenth century, the Western world viewed circumcision as an embarrassing disfigurement peculiar to Jews. Why does circumcision usually mean circumcision of infants? Why does the pressure for health circumcision continue? This book offers essential background to the debates about the medical, ethical, and social aspects of circumcision.
