Dr. Hershel Goldman, B.Sc., MBBS, FRACGP, is a circumcised doctor, general practitioner, and Jewish mohel who practises medicine in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The Daily Mail reports that the Medical Board of Australia has banned him from performing circumcision after he amputated the penises of two boys while performing ritual circumcisions in homes.[1]
Many Jews believe that the ritual of Brit Milah is required by the so-called Abrahamic covenant, which is the most sacred ritual of Judaism, although it is increasingly being questioned.[2]
Non-therapeutic "cosmetic" circumcision has long been banned at public hospitals in Australia.[3]
Dr Mark Duncan-Smith, the president of the AMA (WA), issued a warning to parents on 10 December 2021 regarding non-therapeutic child circumcision. Dr. Duncan-Smith said parents should only "follow through with the procedure if there is a valid medical reason." According to Dr Duncan-Smith only about ten percent of boys in Western Australia are now being circumcised.[4]
Potential civil liability
J. Neville Turner, Professor of Law at Melbourne's Monash University and president of Oz Child, has argued that "circumcised boys may sue."[5] Professor Turner cited Marion's case, the 1992 High Court of Australia case regarding parental consent.[6]
