NEW YORK: Baby Dies from Circumcision

.

This baby died the same way the last two [media publicized] babies died (1 in a SD Hospital; 1 at a Jewish Bris) after they underwent circumcision - internal hemorrhage, respiratory distress and bleeding from the mouth and nose. It is so utterly sad and should NEVER be happening. Babies are born perfect - not made to be cut up after birth.

By the way - one of the #1 MYTHS that some unknowing hospitals/doctors give parents for 'needing' circumcision is that their son does not 'urinate correctly'. This is simply NOT TRUE and parents must educate themselves on the matter prior to being pressured into unncessary (and harmful!) surgery. Please see the excellent book: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Circumcision

BROOKLYN (WABC) -- Shock and sorrow for a mother and father in Brooklyn.

They took their infant son to the hospital for what they thought was routine surgery.

Now, they're planning his funeral.

Seven-month-old Bradley Dorcius died two days after having an operation to correct his urine flow and a circumcision.

In the recovery room at SUNY Downstate Hospital, his mother says Bradley began bleeding from his mouth and nose, and later died.

His parents are devastated and they're demanding answers.

The hospital spokesperson calls Bradley's death a sad incident and says the hospital is investigating. His parents say he had no allergies and no other known medical conditions.
