Circumcision Decision-Maker is an online decision-making tool for anyone considering male circumcision. The content has been drawn from and approved by our panel of experts following an extensive review of the literature.
Almost all of the circumcisions in the United States are performed on infants, and American parents tend to approach the circumcision decision from two different perspectives. There are those parents who quickly choose circumcision, without first researching it or considering the consequences; then there are those parents who agonize—and perhaps argue—over the issue. This decision-making tool was designed to help both.
The premise of this decision-making tool is that it asks you to make a lot of little decisions, rather than a single big one. This takes you through a decision-making process—helping you identify what your real reason is for considering circumcision—and then gives you some expert opinion to use in making your final decision.
