|Text=The BMA considers that the evidence concerning health benefits from non-therapeutic circumcision is insufficient for this alone to be a justification for doing it.

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. |trans-quote= |quote-lang= |publisher=British Medical Association |location=BMA House, Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9JP |format=PDF |date=2019 |accessdate=2020-06-25}}</ref>
