re Pain relief for neonatal circumcision -interesting research article

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much for posting this review of research, Gail.

I wonder what ethics committee approves studies that involve torture of

innocent human beings. I wonder if medical people in countries that cut

the genitals of girls compare whether they cry less or have increased heart

rates when their labia are removed with the help of Emla cream. How blind

can we be that we allow this insanity to continue. BTW Canada has nowhere

near a 48% rate. One province, Newfoundland, has a zero rate.

My own province, B.C. has a 10% (est’d) rate. Gloria Lemay
