As far as I am concerned, circumcision of boys is an entirely unnecessary operation, unless done for medical reasons. To say it is done for religious reasons just adds to the seriousness of the assault charge. As far as this case is concerned, the Doctor proceeded with the circumcision without the consent of the parents, and I fail to see why he has been let off...
I have often wondered why girls are injected with the anti HPV virus as teens when circumcision of boys would cut the number of women getting cervical cancer......... seems a bit unfair to me.
/because you used the statement as an argument against making circumcision illegal. /
Nope didn't make an arguement against making it illegal, I stated a fact.
Its not only done for religious reason either, all the males in our family are done and we are not religious.

Naomi "Unless a medical necessity, it's time it was made illegal. This is wilful mutilation. "
You : "Rather a trained professional than a back street 'expert' "
How on earth can you say you were not using the argument against it being illegal?
Men having a bit of useless skin chopped off in a family ensures that their wives and girlfriends are less likely to develop cancer.....well done that family I say.
Those who carry out this surgical practice do so under the guise of a "medical condition" where circumcision is indicated. More often than not NHS surgeons refuse to perform the surgery for religious purposes.
