of genital mutilations. Since the formation of Students for Genital Integrity (http://www.studentsforgenitalintegrity.org), other students around the country have expressed interest in
starting similar organizations. A moderated Yahoo e-group for students only has been created as a means to help that happen. There are currently chapters of Students for Genital Integrity in Iowa and Florida, and two are forming in Washington DC and one in Arizona.

Circumcision is not mentioned in the Qur'an, but more Muslim boys are circumcised than any other single group. An Islamic site with anti-circumcision information is http://www.quran.org/khatne.htm (also http://www.quran.org/CIRCUMCISION.HTM), part of the Virtual Mosque. Another, FreeMinds.Org, has a page against Islamic circumcision.

Doctors
Doctors Opposing Circumcision (DOC) have a website, which includes a video about the structure and function of the prepuce. It is clear and comprehensive, but being aimed at doctors, uses medical terminology. DOC has members throughtout the US and in Canada and Australia.
An individual's site, medical fraud, offers a $1000 reward to anyone who can prove that infant circumcision is medically ethical.
Nurses and Midwives
Nurses for the Rights of the Child is for nurses and midwives who conscientiously object to circumcision. They have a website, or you can email them.
Foreskin restoration
Some thousands of circumcised men worldwide are regaining some of the function and much of the appearance of a foreskin by encouraging growth through tension. They keep contact via:
Artificial foreskin
A company in Salisbury, England, Viafin-Atlas, makes an "undergarment" called a "Senslip" out of latex and rayon that acts as an artificial foreskin, even retracting like one for urination (not intercourse). The idea is to restore the sensitivity of the glans. The need for such a device is itself an indictment of circumcision. Their website has a video with a strong pro-intact message and some good graphics, but a rather confused message about the innervation and role of the foreskin.
Law
Men who want to take legal action on account of botched, non-consensual or unnecessary circumcision (and lawyers who want to help with such action) should contact Attorneys for the Rights of the Child (ARC).
Here is a link for information about lawsuits against doctors and medical boards.
Here is one to resources on medical malpractice.
Men who object to having been circumcised are invited to join the class action at SueEasy.com
Art

Angela's Men is a gallery of treated photographs of intact men, many closeups. Treatment is commonly a metallic finish, such as copper. The images are large, suitable for printing.
Videos
"Circumcision? Intact Facts" An important short video. It doesn't show the whole circumcision procedure, but it shows enough, the baby first screaming and then traumatized. It is dramatically evident that the pain and trauma of circumcision cause a dissociative state.

Opera!
"Opera is for when the emotions are too big for words" so Betty Katz Sperlich R.N. and Nurses for the Rights of the Child have enlisted Ron "Dadou" Romanovsky (formerly of Romanofsky and Philips) to create "It's a Boy!, a circus opera", using puppets, musicians, dancers, a trapeze artist and a knife-juggler. A concert version has been performed at the Santa Fe Playhouse and at the Ninth International Symposium on Genital Integrity in Seattle. The CD is available from Fresh Fruit Records, 369 Montezuma Ave, #209, Santa Fe, 87501 USA.
