Heresy: metzitzah b’peh

http://www.vosizneias.com/102334/2012/03/06/new-york-brooklyn-da-opens-criminal-investigation-into-infants-death-from-metzitzah-bpeh-at-bris-practice

This is the practice that some ultra religious jewish enclaves do to "suction" out some more blood from the wound of a circumcision.  Nowadays it is done by suction applied to a glass tube over the anatomy of the child.

I must say that this is one of the most frequently claimed assertions of people who want to paint a disgusting image of Jewish life as well as those who want to attack the jewish practice of circumcision.

THIS IDIOCY SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

I guess maybe it will be as the above article discussing a case of a baby contracting a case of Herpes 1 Virus and dying was documented after suction from a mohel.

AS A JEWISH PHYSICIAN I ATTEST THAT THERE IS NO MEDICAL OR SPIRITUAL BENEFIT TO ANY SUCH PRACTICE.

This needs to be declared UNLAWFUL.
