Circumcision is a routine surgery in the United States that cuts off the most sensitive part of a young boys genitals. On this show, I am dedicated to bringing true informed consent on any and all topics, and I feel this topic is extremely important to understand truly, why we are doing this and if it is truly necessary.
To have this conversation, it is my honor to have guest, Georganne Chapin, founder of Intact America, to educate us on this important topic.
