Doctors refuse to circumcise male children – Aftenposten

The new law allows for physicians may refuse to perform the procedure, but only if not thus causes the health authority can not provide the service.

Director, Health North, Geir Tollåli, reluctant yet against imposing urologists to do it.

– It is quite unfortunate to force the stuff conscience issues, says Tollåli NRK .

At Nordland Hospital in Bodø and the University Hospital of North Norway in Tromsø wishes of urologists to take the job.

– Strider against CRC

Norwegian Urological Association, Children Surgical Society and the Norwegian Nurses Association believes medical personnel should have the right to refuse to participate in the procedure, not just a possibility, Dagsavisen.

– The procedure is contrary to the Convention and child. We do not want that healthy children should be exposed to this, says Kristin Waldum-Grevbo, who leads country group of nurses in Norwegian Nurses Association .



– Aunt Sophie attitude

Ervin Kohn, head of the Jewish community in Oslo, strong critical to the doctors who will perform the procedure.

– I understand that Norwegians think this is weird because this is not common, but that doctors should put on its high horse and take an aunt Sophie attitude full of arrogance, scolds I whatsoever. Insubordination is actually a dismissal because according to the Working Environment Act, he said according to NRK.



– Should circumcised

Kohn adds that over 30 percent of the world’s male population is circumcised and that there is a normal procedure in US hospitals.

– Jewish boys should be circumcised on the eighth day. Small children are defenseless and dependent parents. When parents must take responsibility. It is the same with vaccines, parents do not wait until children are 16 years old, he said.

– Useless without consent

Svein Aarseth, chairman of the Council of Medical Ethics and head of Oslo leader Association, says to Dagsavisen that the procedure has no medical benefit.

– That involves taking away a body on a healthy person. The other big problem is that this is done on a small child who can not give their consent, he said.
