Introduction

An analysis by Ivan Goodhart of the parents’ role in deciding whether or not to circumcise an infant son.

Parents have many decisions to make regarding the health, education and welfare of their infants and children; who clearly cannot take these decisions for themselves. One of these decisions is whether or not to have a son circumcised.

Whether this decision is for or against circumcision the author explains why it is effectively a decision for life. Although leaving the child uncircumcised gives a theoretical choice to the child to have a circumcision later, this proves illusory in most cases.
