Petition update, 07 January 2008

More details from petition creator

Despite the fact that it has no health benefits, and can be seriously harmful to newborns, around 1 in 14 british boys are circumcised at birth, for cultural and/or religious reasons. However, the circumcision of girls has already been made illegal. It is time for this injustice to end, and to give all infant boys the protection they truly deserve.
