Thus ended in victory a five-year legal battle to save a boy's [[foreskin]]. The boy's legal, constitutional and human rights prevailed over the father's claimed religious right to excise a functional body part from his son's body. The father's supporters, American Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America were also on the losing side.
[[Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.)]] filed two ''amicus curiae'' briefs in this case and was successful in protecting the boy's [[foreskin]] from [[circumcision]].
