Medical ethics says that circumcision is an infringement of the child's autonomy and should be delayed until he is capable of making the decision himself.<ref name="KNMG2010">[http://circumstitions.com/Docs/KNMG-policy.pdf Non-Therapeutic Circumcision of Male Minors]. Utrecht: Royal Dutch Medical Association, 2010.</ref> A circumcision operation may be performed at any age, so an [[intact]] male, who has reached the legal age of consent, may elect to have a [[circumcision]] whenever he wishes.<ref name="myers2020" />

This statement also recognizes that waiting until the boy is of sufficient age to make his own decision would better respect his autonomy, but points out that this may interfere with a child's religious inclusion that [[circumcision]] was meant to confer.<ref name="racp2010"/> With neonatal male circumcision, they acknowledge that the child may later on disagree with the parents' decision <ref name="racp2010"/> but using the same reasoning, an [[uncircumcised]] child may also disagree with his parents' decision not to have him circumcised in infancy,<ref name="racp2010"/> but he can have a circumcision at any age.
