Circumcision kills eight in 2007
December 31st, 2007 by DOC
George Hill, Vice-President of and spokesperson for Doctors Opposing Circumcision, said, “Doctors Opposing Circumcision collects death reports from male circumcision. We received reports of eight deaths this year. Of course, we have no idea how many other deaths occurred but were not reported.”
Hill said, “The year started with the death of two-week-old Amitai Moshe in February after a ritual circumcision at Golder’s Green Synagogue in London. This was followed by the death report in March of an unnamed infant boy in Ontario, Canada from infection, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (blood clotting in the vascular system), and multi-organ failure. In June, Malaysia reported the death of four-year-old Nui Jia Yuan from asphyxia and Kuldeep Kumar Vishnubhai Patel, a ten-year-old boy, died in Gujurat, India in November.
The scene moved to Africa in December, Hill went on. “Kenya was next with the death of an unnamed 13-year-old from bleeding, and in South Africa, the government reported three deaths during the ‘circumcision season’ in Eastern Cape Province.”
“These are only the reported deaths,” Hill emphasized. “There may have been others. In all cases, circumcision served no medical purpose, and these deaths could have been avoided. We warn everyone that circumcision is not an innocuous procedure. Any circumcision can go wrong at any time.”
(Ed. ICGI estimates that over 100 circumcision-related deaths occur in the United States alone each year.)
