HELP US STOP THE CINCINNATI STUDY

For the last several weeks, we've been writing and calling TriHealth Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, where 200+ babies are being circumcised in a study to determine which circumcision clamp, the Gomco or the Mogen, is "better." How are they determining this? According to the study, by looking at which clamp results in fewer blood-soaked bandages, and by looking at expressions of pain on babies' faces.

We believe this study is a heinous violation of medical ethics and human rights, and we're furious that no one at the hospital has bothered to respond.

They're tuning us out, just like they're tuning out the screams of the babies being cruelly subjected to an unconscionable medical experiment—all in service to the shareholders of a medical instrument manufacturer seeking to profit from bad science in order to sell more circumcision tools.

We need to step up the pressure on this hospital, and we need your help:
