How the fuck is my comment above downvoted? LOL! The article was absurdly lacking in any sort of detail, but I guess that's unimportant. The sad, cruel irony of this is that if, as I suspect, and you posit, these boys died of sepsis, the whole rationale for circumcising them in the first place is to reduce a supposed likelihood of them contracting HIV. The basis for that particular study which correlated HIV transmission with uncircumcised penises is extremely shabby science and also presents an extremely low likelihood that circumcision would actually have any effect on HIV transmission, even assuming the science behind the conclusion was good, which it wasn't.

Anyway... what a horror show this practice of mutilation continues to be, especially in places where, due to shitty sanitation, you run a tangible risk of dying from sepsis from a nicking your chin while shaving... and they want to cut the end of everyone's dicks off in those places, ESPECIALLY? GTFO.

Well that sounds like a lot. Its a lie. But it is a lot

Correction: Sept. 24, 2012

An article on Aug. 27 about a conclusion by the American Academy of Pediatrics that the health benefits of circumcising infant boys outweigh the risks referred incompletely to complications that arise from the operation. An estimate given in the article, that about 117 boys a year die as a result of neonatal circumcision — put forth by Dan Bollinger, a prominent opponent of circumcision, based on his review of infant mortality statistics — is cited often by critics of routine circumcision but widely disputed by medical professionals. A spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency does not track deaths from infant circumcision because they are exceedingly rare. In the agency’s last mortality report, which looked at all deaths in the country in 2010, no circumcision-related deaths were found.
