Zum Thema hat die WHO bezeichnenderweise "women's health advocates" eingeladen
aber keine "men's health advocates":

"The international consultation, which was held from 6-8 March 2007 in Montreux, Switzerland, was attended by participants representing a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, civil society, researchers, human rights and women's health advocates, young people, funding agencies and implementing partners."

Und auch wieder die Mär vom Schutz vor Gebärmutterhalskrebs
als Neben-"Argument":

"... the impact of male circumcision on the health of women for reasons other
than HIV transmission (e.g. lessened rates of cancer of the cervix)..."

Hier der ganze Artikel:

(Position Statement
on the Use of Male Circumcision to Prevent
Cervical Cancer

Und an der Beschneidung von Säuglingen und Kindern hat man
auch weiterhin nichts auszusetzen:

Hier wird zwar noch von Menschenrechten gefaselt und das kein Zwang
ausgeübt werden dürfte:

Conclusion 5: Human rights, legal and ethical principles must guide service delivery
As is the case with medical and health procedures generally, promoting male circumcision for HIV prevention raises human rights, legal and ethical issues. Taking a human rights-based approach to the development or expansion of male circumcision services requires measures that ensure that the procedure can be carried out safely, under conditions of informed consent, and without coercion or discrimination. Such measures should already be features of good medical care.
Communities where male circumcision is introduced have a right to clear and comprehensive information about what is known and not known about male circumcision and HIV prevention. Men opting for male circumcision have the right to receive full information on the benefits and risks of the procedure.

Aber ich frage mich, wie Säuglinge und Kleinkinder
zustimmen oder ablehnen könnten:

5.2 Where male circumcision is provided for minors (young boys and adolescents), there should be involvement of the child in the decision-making, and the child should be given the opportunity to provide assent or consent, according to his evolving capacity. Depending on the local laws, some mature minors may be able to give independent informed consent. Parents who are responsible for providing consent, including for the circumcision of male infants , should be given sufficient information regarding the benefits and risks of the procedure in order to determine what is in the best interests of the child.

Und diese Passage finde ich auch etwas seltsam:

"the child should be given the opportunity to provide assent or consent"

asssent heißt übersetzt Zustimmung und
consent heißt übersetzt auch Zustimmung

also übersetzt etwa:

"dem Kind sollte die Gelegenheit zur Zustimmung oder Zustimmung
angeboten werden"

im Sinne von "stimmts?" oder "hab' ich recht?" ein
"nein" ist nicht vorgesehen.
