Great article on American Academy of Pediatrics announcement
Last week the American Academy of Pediatrics reversed its neutral position
on infant male circumcision to say that the science shows that the health
benefits (HIV, penile cancer and HPV prevention, etc.) outweigh the risks.
Here's a great piece about the rationale behind the change:

Excerpt:
So here’s one of those rhetorical devices that intactivists should
appreciate: *Cut it out. *For every amazing prepuce you save, you’re adding
an element of risk and uncertainty for the person attached to it. Nobody
can possibly know what viral foes a man will come up against in his life,
and if one of them is HIV, your crusade, admirable though you feel it is,
may be costing some other parent their child’s life.
