Tim and Gabrielle Groth said their son, Cole, underwent the circumcision at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in Manhattan, where he was born on March 31.

    It is usually not the personal preference of the person operated on.

    There are a lot of medical decisions that simply should not be left in the hands of parents, and this is one of them, if not the score leader.

      It’s not a medical decision. The procedure is completely unnecessary and unwarranted without a diagnosis.
