Ein höchst interessanter Artikel von Peter W. Adler (Attorneys for the Rights of the Child) über die Rechtslage im Amerika.
A physician’s legal duty is to provide competent medical care to pediatric patients independent of their parents’ desires. Thus, physicians cannot take orders from parents to operate on children for reasons having nothing to do with medicine. Parents’ religious rights in turn are subordinate to their sons’ absolute rights to genital integrity and autonomy,and parents cannot risk harming their children, let alone actually harm them for religious reasons. Furthermore, physicians and parents have a legal duty to protect boys from circumcisison."

Adler hatte sich schon vor ein paar Jahren über die Illegalität der Kostenübernahme von Beschneidungen durch Medicaid geäussert.
