[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They banned circumcision on children who can not authorize the procedure, so it isn't completely banned.[/b] I don't think they are out to get any particular group. I think they think the procedure is really barbaric (not saying I agree...but can appreciate the sentiment) and shouldn't be performed on someone who can not give consent. I definitely can see how this decision could be construed as anti-semitic. In a sense, it is, in that the German court does not acknowledge people's right to religious freedom (with this decision). That being said...what is policy in U.S. on treating children of Christian Scientists (who refuse medical treatment)...can they refuse for their kids on grounds of religion? And if not, how is this really different than German decision? [/quote] Thank you for pointing that out. Someone mentioned the large Turkish population, but generally they don't practice circumcision in early infancy.[/quote]
