clipped from: www.ynetnews.com Denmark's National Council for Children has recommended the legislation of a law banning circumcision of boys under the age of 15.
The country's Ethics Council supported the proposal and now only the parliament's medical committee can intervene and prevent the proposal from being heard.
"Circumcision is the irreversible damage to a child's body before he is given the chance to object," the National Council for Children argued.
The Council further claimed that the banning of male child circumcision was a matter of equality among the sexes.
"Just like female circumcision was banned five years ago, male circumcision should be banned," the Council said.
"The comparison between circumcision and the intentional mutilation of the female sex organ in certain societies is simply complete nonsense," Lexner told Yedioth Ahronoth.
The passing of this law would make the Jewish mitzvah and tradition of circumcising a child on his eighth day a crime.
