Does science support infant circumcision? Brian D. Earp 1,2 & Robert Darby 3 1 University of Oxford 2 University of Cambridge 3 Independent Researcher, Ph.D., University of New South Wales Abstract According to Brian Morris (2013), “Science supports infant circumcision” and “so should skeptics.” It would be more accurate to say that ‘Brian Morris supports infant circumcision,’ and that skeptics can think for themselves. In this paper, we critically assess the arguments and evidence presented by Morris in his recent article, and draw some general lessons for the ongoing debate about the science and ethics of infant male circumcision.
