In Ontario, Ryan, a newborn baby bled to death after a simple circumcision procedure went horribly wrong. The baby was perfectly heathy and his parents were preparing to begin their journey with their newborn whom they loved more than anything, only to be denied their dreams as their son was taken away from them through a common circumcision procedure.
