Deaths from Circumcision 02/02/2011
A baby only needs to lose 1 ounce of blood to hemorrhage, and just 2.3 ounces to die as a result of this blood loss. It can, and does, occur at a frightening quick pace. http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/death-from-circumcision.html A study published in Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies estimates that more than 100 baby boys die from circumcision complications each year, including from anesthesia reaction, stroke, hemorrhage, and infection. Because infant circumcision is elective, all of these deaths are avoidable. http://www.icgi.org/2010/04/infant-circumcision-causes-100-deaths-each-year-in-us/ "To put this in perspective, about 44 neonatal boys die each year from suffocation, and 8 from auto accidents. About 115 neonatal boys die annually from SIDS, nearly the same as from circumcision." http://www.examiner.com/family-health-in-washington-dc/new-study-estimates-neonatal-circumcision-death-rate-higher-than-suffocation-and-auto-accidents Increased morbidity after circumcision from a hidden complication http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120710265/abstract Deaths from circumcision http://www.circumstitions.com/death.html Circumcision deaths http://www.cirp.org/library/death/ “The parents of a 6-week-old boy who bled to death after a circumcision at Rosebud’s Indian Health Service Hospital last year are suing the government for wrongful death.” http://www.argusleader.com/article/20090918/UPDATES/90918015/1003/business Brooklyn Toddler Dies After Circumcision http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/brooklyn-toddler-dies-circumcision/story?id=13544632#.TuF9ZM2nHxI One-week-old Ontario infant died from complications after undergoing a circumcision http://www.canada.com/cityguides/ottawa/story.html?id=cb3b8281-4134-46ba-85d3-b076072bda75&k=25810 Infant's death at Maimonides Hospital linked to circumcision http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/infant-death-maimonides-hospital-linked-circumcision-article-1.1032432 Midwife charged with manslaughter after baby bleeds to death following a circumcision http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/8/news-headlines/68777/midwife-on-baby-death-charge John V.
