Q&A with Naomi Wolf and Matt Williams: the pros and cons of male circumcision

This week, Naomi addressed the controversy generated by guidelines in favour of male circumcision issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics. She also referenced the opinion article written by Guardian journalist – and father-imminently-to-be – Matt Williams , which argued strongly against the AAP's new advice. As Naomi revealed, the AAP is not necessarily a disinterested party offering objective medical advice, but male circumcision will always be a sensitive issue in any case – because of its status as a religious rite for some, and a cultural tradition for others. Join Naomi and Matt to discuss the practice, share your experience, and if you're a parent, or plan to be, tell us what's been your choice on the issue.
