|quote=Doctors can refuse to perform NTMC if they do not believe it is in the overall best interests of a child. Doctors are under no obligation to comply with a request to circumcise a child. In these circumstances, doctors should explain this to the child and his parents, and, if appropriate, explain their right to seek a second opinion. | |||
