Kathy Rubin's post on all the things we do to babies which may accentuate the need to give Vitamin K-- which, I hasten to add, I endorse as the optimal practice in April 2000-- brought to mind what one of our pediatricians said a few years back, about male infant circumcision. "Oh, you mean the American screening test for hemophilia?" As you may know, it is only done for religious reasons here, requested by minority groups comprising well under 5 % of the population.
Call me a callous ethnocentrist if you will, it made me laugh.
