Rejected petition Ban Infant circumcision in the UK for non medical reasons

Male circumcision seriously harms the baby it is forced upon. It is a permanent mutilation that cannot be reversed. Many people may choose this on themselves, and we respect that but for under 16s who can not consent to this act it is wrong to force this mutilation on them.
