NYC Orthodox Jews negotiate over right to give babies herpes and brain damage, and kill them

83. Honestly, I suspect mohels receive more extensive training in circumcision than

most pediatricians do. It really is "see one, do one, teach one" for pediatricians. And, once again (and for the last time), other than this very specific ritual, there is no difference in complication rates. There is no need to address anything but this single issue, unless there is some indication of a problem.

Surgery is really a huge overstatement as to what this is. It literally takes about 30 seconds. I personally find it objectionable, but it's a parents choice.

I was able to find out that there are national credentialing organizations and that one can quite easily check the training and credentials of mohels. What I can't find out is to what extent specific state regulatory bodies are or are not involved, but that is most likely because it varies from state to state.

I don't want to be rude, but you really are over your head with this. This is why lay people really have no business trying to regulate things that they know pretty much nothing about.

No one is asking for what you are asking for and that should tell you something right there. They are merely trying to address this single problem that has to do with this single version of this single procedure.

I have done the best I can to show you why you are completely over-reaching, but you are really stuck and I think I am finished.

I hope they successfully and easily address this issue.
