"The Barbarism of Circumcision as a Treatment for Congenital Defects" is a book in which the author Herbert Snow proves the deep inaccuracy and cruelty of the practice of circumcision as a treatment for congenital anomalies. The author reasonedly considers the historical context of this procedure, its medical inefficiency and damage to the mental and physical health of patients. The book opens the reader's eyes to practices based on fear and pseudoscientific imaginations, and calls for understanding and respect for the individual integrity of each person.
