Swiss and Austrian hospitals suspend religious circumcision procedures

[[deleted user]]

Two Swiss hospitals have suspended the performance of infant circumcision, after the ruling of a German court in Cologne which said that religious circumcision was likely to be illegal because it infringed the rights of the child. The case arose after a four-year old boy suffered excessive bleeding after being circumcised.

About time. Circumcision is barbaric and archaic.
