So exercise for everyone except in specific circumstances, but cutural norms and personal preference may outweigh the benefits for circumcision. If the reigning authority can safely claim that personal preference is a valid reason to not circumcise a child then it sounds like the science is stating that it is probably a good idea, but not really that important.

Sorry secularism.com and doctorsagainstcircumcision are biased sources. Thats like going to godhatesfags.com for opinion of gays and jews.com for opinion of circumcision. I have humiliated many psueduoscholars but this has been the easiest as the facts are simply on my side as well as the intelligence. Of course you will disagree due to your irrationality.

So are these biased too, the AAP and the American Cancer Society?

And yet you try to sell opinion of AAP which made their statement based on recommendations of "research group" which included a jewish woman and 4 circumcised doctors who circumcised their own kids too, plus one had huge financial interest in creating "recommendations for universal circumcision". How is that not biased? See how hypocritic you sound and look?

The really funny thing is AAP is the one who said that societal norms are enough for a parent to disregard circumcision. If a doctor says that if your friends won't like it, then it is ok not to do it, then it can't be very important to begin with.

heard this on the radio earlier this morning

An Israeli woman has been ordered by a religious court to have her baby son circumcised or else pay a fine of $149 Cdn for every day he stays uncircumcised.

The order from an Israeli rabbinical court was handed down Oct. 29, Israeli newspapers reported today.

The court forms part of the country's justice system, with jurisdiction over matters of religion, Haaretz reports on its website.

The procedure, which for boys involves removing part of the penis foreskin, is part of Jewish culture and is sometimes performed in other cultures for medical reasons.

"The baby was born with a medical problem, so we couldn't circumcise him on the eighth day as is customary," the mother, whose name is given only as Elinor, told Haaretz.

"As time went on, I started reading about what actually happens in circumcision, and I realized that I couldn't do that to my son. He's perfect just as he is."

The problem came when she and her husband began to contemplate divorce. The husband insisted on circumcision, and the matter went to a panel of three rabbis.

Circumcision is "a standard surgical procedure that is performed on every Jewish baby boy, so when one of the parents demands it, the other cannot delay it except where it is proven to be medically dangerous," the rabbis said.

When Elinor lost in that forum, she appealed to a higher rabbinical court and lost there as well, London's Daily Telegraph reported from Jerusalem.

The mother now plans an appeal to Israel's High Court of Justice, Haaretz said.

The rulings come amid growing concern in Israel over attempts elsewhere in the world to prohibit ritual circumcision on humanitarian grounds, the Telegraph said. It is seen by some as a form of anti-Semitism.

^Interesting story.

I didn't know that rabbinical courts held any real legal authority in Israel.
