"Circumcision is a very contentious subject," says Dr. Edgar Schoen, the former head of pediatrics at Kaiser Oakland, Calif., whose new book On Circumcision is reigniting the debate about circumcision. "After all, you're talking about a subject that transcends psychology, medicine, religion and sex.
