Ethical reflections on the medical participation in religious circumcision. The question is examined in the light
of the four principles of biomedical ethics, compaired to
other similar medical procedures as the ablation of a sixth
finger or the surgery of prominent ears on children. The
weighing of a physical risk against immaterial, social or
spiritual benefits is also examined.
