104. The article is about 2 methods. NOWHERE is this about not doing one, just the method involved.

PLEASE NOTE-the above article anyhow does NOT say it wants to ban the circumcision as a whole. It wants to alert the parents about the very little chance of side effect of one method over a second, and to do a different technique

Either way, the circumcision will occur, and it is with parents knowledge.

but it reminds me

Wait for consent til a child is an adult?
There are people that believe quacks like Wakefield and won't vaccinate.
By then they will be dead, because they did not get a vaccination that can save ones life
believing a quack like Wakefield who lied so often, the mantra took hold and people stopped gettting shots (much like this year so many have not gotten flu shots.)

It has allowed horrible childhood diseases to come back that were completely eradicated because of a stupid mantra oft repeated by the quackWakefieldquack.

This is a proven thing that increases safety in adulthood, and is recomended for all, same as the gardasil vaccine should be made manditory for all (including boys), and so should the pnemonia shot as so many who had the flu or a bad cold develop bacterial pnemonia and
that is directly stopped prehand from happening in a great percentage of times by the vaccine.

I assume some would say that giving a child a shot without their adult consent would also be
some sort of abuse as the child gave no consent.
A parent has the right to give consent on a child.

As the Jewish religion to a Jewish person (whcih is what the Original article is) has a known routine after the birth of a child, parental permission is indeed given, as the Rabbi, or Jewish
leader comes into the room at the invitation of the family and it is talked about beforehand.


PLEASE NOTE-the above article anyhow does NOT say it wants to ban the circumcision as a whole. It wants to alert the parents about the very little chance of side effect, and do a different technique.
It says NOTHING about doing away with the circumcision itself.

So its just the method being discussed.

In reality, any other talk about this is off topic of the original article and in all cases, in the Jewish religion, the religius leader comes into the room at the express invitation of the parents.
(after all, how would they know the person is Jewish to start off with, unless they are asked
to by the parent(s)???

Especially in New York City, which is the singular most diverse city in the world and no hospital
that is solely one religion over another.

(note for openess and talking about the thread, I am Jewish with child and know this above in a hospital, as a fact, it is NOT done secretly, the parents are indeed involved.

This is solely a medical issue on which technique, not a do it/ don't do it altogether argument.
