Zitat

Circumcision is a profoundly meaningful Jewish practice imbued with great cultural value.

Zitat

Rather than prejudice against religion, I think it makes more sense to interpret criticism of circumcision as the consistent application of human rights to both boys and girls. This is clear in the special rapporteur’sExplanatory Memorandum. Concern about the genital cutting of children is best understood within the context of Europe’s, especially Germany’s, focus on human rights and medical ethics following the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Deutschland ergibt sich also doch seiner Verantwortung, die es aus dem Holocaust ableitet? Manche denken da ganz umgekehrt. Wir bringt man diese Gegensätze nur zusammen?

Zitat

But neither longevity nor meaning is usually accepted as sufficient moral justification to override individual rights.
