Circumcision - yes or no?

[solarstorm]

Circumcision of boys has been declared illegal by the Cologne state court at the end of June. It should be viewed as illicit injury, ruled the court.
It goes on to say that the right of education was not unduly affected if the parents had to wait until the son decides upon a circumcision as a sign of affiliation at a future date.
Hence circumcisions have to be deemed unlawful, even if the parents have approved of the procedure.

In this case a doctor had circumcised a 4-year-old boy at his Muslim parents' request.
Two days later postoperative hemorrhage occurred, the child was taken to the emergency room. The Cologne public prosecutor's department gained knowledge of this incident and brought charges against the physician.
The Cologne district court acquitted him at first instance because an informed consent existed.
The Cologne state court approved the doctor's acquittal as he can claim mistake of law due to the unclear legal situation.
