Debate between physicians and attorney Steven Svoboda against authors of the 2012 AAP report on circumcision

This is a really excellent debate. The authors of the 2012 report wrote it on a way they could claim neutrality by stating the benefits outweigh the risks but not enough to recommend the procedure, passing the buck to the parents (while supplying them with biased information and being informed by their physicians with the same biased information). Yet in the debate when they are hard pressed and questioned, they are unapologetically pro-circumcision at every turn. At one point Svoboda calls them out and asks them why they aren't recommending it if it's so healthy, safe, and harmless. He answers his own rhetorical question with: "I have a theory. It's because you're afraid of getting sued."
