While she states that "to make an anti-circumcision law based on the child’s inability to choose is insanity: a child by definition cannot choose anything—whether breastfeeding or tonsillectomy", she also considers that "as for getting consent for circumcision—after reading what is involved in doing it to an adult male, I cannot believe that any man would be mad enough to consent".

Metzitzah b'peh is the ritual of oral suction of the blood of the penis, performed by ultra-orthodox Jews, and recently responsible for several cases of babies contracting genital herpes in NYC, in 2012. At least 2 babies died.
