Although money may be a significant factor perpetuating the American practice of "routine" infant male circumcision, I have a strong suspicion that the circumcision status of male doctors who promote and perform the surgery is also a major factor. Such men may be subliminally aware that infant male circumcision destroys tissue that millions of years of evolution created for optimal joy in the mating process. Their own loss gnaws at their ego, but they are in deep denial of this fact. By circumcising infant boys, they get a perverse satisfaction in feeling that no real harm was done to themselves and that this idea is widely shared by the public at large. Money is a nice bonus, but not the main thing they are seeking.

the fact is though that floei g the money in the case of the slave trade as compared to the case of the circu.cision trade are very different situations. in the case of the circumcision trade following the money should certainly be done. The greatest obstacles to the termination of circumcision are based in the billions of doors in trade done in and by the USA its close ties with zio ist Israel and it veto powers in the United nations stopping propper dealing with this blatant violation of human right and integrity.
