The Learning Channel Saturday night featured a documentary about a connection between a man's likelihood of contracting AIDS if he is uncircumcised. Scientists working in Africa found that men who were uncut were more likely get to the disease because of thin keratic cells on the inside of the foreskin. NOCIRC, an anti-circumcision group in the U.S., did not dispute the science, but maintained that a public policy encouraging circumcision is not a wise step. Instead, they said, this research should promote further research. Check tlc.com for their schedule and when this show will run again. WARNING: This documentary is graphic and does show the faces of young African boys as they are being circumcised. It also displays the removed foreskin of an adult man who had donated his foreskin to the AIDS research. Scott's note: Thanks also to nagzi for submitting this.
