ZitatFormer Minister of Economic Affairs and the Interior Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille, chairman of the Fremad Party, wants to stop the ritual circumcision of little boys.
He writes this in a post on Facebook and points out that he does so out of respect for the boys and the citizen proposal on the matter that has already been made.
According to the advertisement, Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille does not believe that it should be legal to cut boys with reference to an old religious ritual.“That is my principled position. That the body is our own and that it should be up to the individual young man whether he wants to be circumcised or not. That is why I am in favor of introducing an age limit of 18 years for circumcision, which is not necessary for medical reasons, "he writes.
ZitatAmmitzbøll-Bille further writes in the post that health professional groups have begun to say no in relation to circumcision of boys.
ZitatThe Society of Anesthesiologists, the Danish Society for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care (Dasim), believes that it is unjustifiable and painful to circumcise boys in private.
On Tuesday, the company will explain to the Health and Elderly Committee in the Folketing why it is against circumcision of boys under local anesthesia.
A letter sent to the committee states, among other things, that Dasim 'cannot guarantee boy circumcision under local anesthesia. There is a risk of inadequate anesthesia and we would e.g. never perform medically indicated penile surgery under local anesthesia.
Children have the same right as adults to up-to-date pain relief before, during and after surgery. We see the fact that children rarely have the language to express pain as an aggravating circumstance.
