First San Fransisco bans toys in Happy Meals. Now CNN is reporting there’s a  circumcision ban proposed in San Fransisco as well.  To recap: Anti-circumcision activist Lloyd Schofield has drawn up a proposal outlawing all circumcisions, even for religious reasons (circumcision of boys is traditional in Judaism and Islam.) The punishment would be up to a year in jail or up to a $1,000 fine. Boy, oh boy. What a hot-bed topic circumcision is. Mandating a ban against all circumcisions is like mandating a requirement that all boys be circumcised. Nobody is right. Everyone is an expert. You’re either for it or against it. But making circumcision a crime? I don’t know. (more…) *This blog post was originally published at The Happy Hospitalist*...

Condom use after male circumcision is essential for HIV prevention.

Hmmm. Golden and Wasserheit. Might one or both of them be Jewish, I wonder?Then in Infectious Diseases there is an article entitled Male Circumcision and STI Prevention: More Good News (sic)We can see immediately where this article is coming from. Why is it “good news”? Must have been written by a women. If routine cicumcsion were to be re-introduced, most males would call this bad news. This article concludesStudies conducted in Africa have shown that male circumcision decreases the rates of several STIs in men and in their female partners. Such benefits should guide public health policy for neonatal, adolescent, and adult male circumcision programs in areas such as Uganda, where prevalence of HIV infection is high. Whether circum...

The guidance explores how doctors should deal with a range of dilemmas including abortion, the wearing of face-veils and male circumcision.  It also looks at patients’ own beliefs and how they can affect the doctor/patient relationship.  It aims to balance a doctors’ right to practise in accordance with their views and beliefs, and the patients’ right to receive timely and appropriate medical care.

She examined the toddler to make sure that all was normal and that he did not, for example, have hypospadias. All was well, but there were no medical grounds for circumcision. My partner felt - as do most of us - that it is difficult to argue when there is a religious imperative. The NHS will not provide circumcisions for religious reasons in our area. I suspect it is the same across the country. If it is going to be done, it has to be done privately.Two of the local consultant urologists will not do them privately u...

It is an awful story of the worst kind of misogyny, and in my view, amounts to slavery. From the story: When a girl is taken--usually by her mother--to a free circumcision event held each spring in Bandung, Indonesia, she is handed over to a small group of women who, swiftly and yet with apparent affection, cut off a small piece of her genitals. Sponsored by the Assalaam Foundation, an Islamic educational and social-services organization, circumcisions take place in a prayer center or an emptied-out elementary-school classroom where desks are pushed together...

It popped up a few days ago and tries to lay a groundwork for supporting the fact that circumcision might INCREASE the chance on contracting HIV. We argued differently.
