"I have known Georganne Chapin for over 50 years as a friend, occasional colleague, and always a fierce advocate for health care justice. This engaging, witty memoir has shown me how much I had missed. Thanks for bringing me up to speed."-Henry Ehrlich, "A Time to Search: The Moving and Dramatic Stories of Adoptees in Search of Their Natural Parents"
"With this book, Georganne Chapin is doing the heavy lifting of helping parents make informed decisions around an almost exclusively cosmetic, yet shockingly normalized surgery."-Nathan Riley, MD, "The Holistic OB/GYN"
"When I was a new journalist, Georganne Chapin opened my eyes to a shocking truth: Many medical procedures have no clinical evidence to support them, especially infant male circumcision. 'This Penis Business' charts her path to becoming the nation's leading voice in ending this unnecessary and often harmful practice."-Joy Victory, writer and health journalist
"I dare you to read this book. The United States is the only country in the western world where medical professionals aggressively promote the removal of the most sensitive part of the penis. Be prepared to be shocked by Georganne Chapin's memoir as she unveils the irrational beliefs and corrupt motives underlying the national tragedy of 'routine' circumcision. If you are a circumcised male, you are going to be upset. If you are the partner of a circumcised male, you will realize that the sexual problems between you may not be his fault. And if it's not too late, you will protect your son. Circumcision is an issue whose time has come. What are you going to do about it? Who will you tell? Whose side are you on?" -Dean Edell, MD, American physician and broadcaster
