==Let the child decide==
The [[Declaration of Helsinki (2012)]] declared the ''right of genital autonomy'', which derives from the right of every human being to ''security of person''. Svoboda (2015) reports there now is an emerging consensus that a decision to perform a non-therapeutic circumcision should be deferred until the child is of age and can decide for himself about having an amputation of his [[foreskin]].<ref name="svoboda2015">{{REFjournal|last=Svoboda
