Abstract：
This symposium includes twelve personal narratives from parents about making the decision whether to circumcise their infant male children. The authors of the narratives include five fathers and seven mothers. Nine of the 12 parent authors opted to circumcise their infant sons, though the reasons they stated for doing so varied. Most of the parent authors relied on cultural or social beliefs, religious guidance, or a desire for sameness with the infant\'s father. Parents who didn\'t circumcise their male infants discuss their convictions about autonomy, bodily rights, and the medical benefits of circumcision versus the harm or pain caused by the procedure. The symposium includes four expert commentaries on the narratives that are informed and enriched by the commentators\' expertise in pediatric bioethics, healthcare ethics, gender studies, Jewish law and tradition, and the medical and surgical techniques of circumcision.
摘要：
本次研讨会包括来自父母的十二项个人叙述，内容涉及是否对婴儿男孩进行割礼。叙述的作者包括五个父亲和七个母亲。12位家长作者中有9位选择给他们的婴儿儿子行割礼，尽管他们这样做的原因各不相同。大多数家长作者都依赖于文化或社会信仰，宗教指导,或渴望与婴儿的父亲相同。没有给男婴行割礼的父母讨论他们对自主权的信念，身体权利,以及包皮环切术的医疗益处与手术引起的伤害或疼痛。研讨会包括四个专家评论的叙述，这些叙述由评论员在儿科生物伦理学方面的专业知识提供和丰富，医疗伦理，性别研究,犹太法律和传统，以及包皮环切术的医学和外科技术。
