National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC)
| Dedicated to making a safer world, NOCIRC is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization committed milos.jpg (10748 bytes) to securing the birthright of male, female, and intersex children and babies to keep their sex organs intact.
NOCIRC provides educational material about the structures, functions, development, and care of normal penile anatomy and offers information about circumcision and the care of the circumcised as well as the intact penis. NOCIRC suggests that circumcision be performed only when it is absolutely medically necessary, after all non-invasive therapies have failed, or when an adult gives consent, after he has been fully informed about the risks and harm of the surgery. NOCIRC's position is based on the fact that not one national or international medical association in the world—including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association—recommends routine infant circumcision and now, recognizing the harm and life-long consequences, some are recommending against it. |
