Londoner Gerichtsmediziner fordert Schutzmaßnahmen bei der Beschneidung nach dem Tod eines Kindes – BBC News

Just ban it, it is removing a body part without it being medically necessary.

It is barbarically disgusting to do it because ‘god wants it’.

So, am I to take from this that the circumciser was likely not even a doctor? I don’t honestly think this procedure should be happening for non-medical reasons anyway but it’s an extra level of crazy to me that someone with no medical degree can be allowed to do this. I genuinely didn’t know it was legal to be able to do circumcision with no medical qualifications.

Wait until people find out how the person carrying out the procedure attempts to stop the bleeding in certain religions.

A good safeguard is to ban it outright unless medically necessary, or he is old enough to consent to a cosmetic procedure.

Maybe ban it. It’s mutilation. People on this terf island love to complain about trans people mutilating kids but have no problem with this

„bbbbut muh religion tells me to mutilate baby’s genitals“

Isn’t mutilating girls already banned?  Should be banned for boys too unless its needed for a medical reason.

(Also thought that was Aintree hospital in the image too, looks very similar must have been made at the same time)

If I wanted to cut off the left earlobe of my son I’d be put in prison. Regardless of the fact I declared my self god last week and made that a decree for all my offspring.

I fail to see why Muslims and Jews are allowed a far more brutal thing because of some lies in the past.

Lets just be honest, the only reason it isn’t banned is because Islam isn’t the only religion that circumcise their children. If it was, I’m sure the government would’ve outlawed it just like FGM.

Hang on hang on hang on

Is circumcision UNREGULATED?

Oh my god it’s true

*There is no requirement in law for professionals undertaking male circumcision to be medically trained or to have proven expertise. Traditionally, religious leaders or respected elders may conduct this practice*

Jesus Christ. That poor poor baby.

Imagine pinning an adult to the ground and cutting off their earlobe with a knife, without their consent.

It’s GBH with intent and should be treated accordingly. If it goes badly wrong, then it’s murder. 

We banned FGM, a religious and cultural practice that involves mutilating young kids‘ genitals for no good reason. Why can’t we do the same for this?

And yes I know it’s much less severe, but it’s still cutting bits off boys for no good reason and it does come with risks.

If I were to invent a religion that stated that the last joint of the little finger was an affront to God and priests should remove it at birth, would that be ok? Even though you don’t really use that finger end for much and it wouldn’t seriously affect your life?

> The coroner said there are no national safeguards governing non-therapeutic male circumcision, with no requirements for training, accreditation or registration of those carrying out the procedure, and no rules on record keeping, infection control or aftercare.

It’s crazy that we spend so much time and money to protect child welfare and prevent abuse through social services, prevent, cahms, etc, we’re even blocking off parts of the internet with ID checks. But want to snip part of your child’s genitalia off? No problem.

It’s absolutely because the government are too weak to cross the two religious groups most affected; Jews and Muslims.

You not legal get a tattoo under 18, even with parental consent. But it’s ok for a parent to have part of their baby’s penis cut off without any medical need? Come on, it makes no sense.

Ban it, and while the Muslims and Jews are  already mad about it ban Halal and Kosher slaughter too. 

End medieval religious practises 

Shouldn’t be allowed in this country at all full stop. Don’t care if your religious, go to the country that accepts something so fucked up and live there. Just stop taking parts of babies bodies and leave them be.

Go to an American-majority group and they all say it’s necessary for health reasons and all this other bollocks. Soap and contraception is extremely easy to get here, we don’t need to mutilate boys on the off-chance they get a penis condition. Should start lopping off all body parts *just in case*.

It’s ridiculous and outdated. It needs banning unless carried out by medical professionals and anyone who performs a religious circumcision gets prison time, including the parents. Fucking scum.

Isn’t 6 months a bit old? I thought they did it at a few days or weeks old.
