- I find it interesting to note that back in the Nordic countries, where
- health care is one of the major issues in society, nobody supports
- the idea of circumcision, unless you belong to a religious order/sect
- that has this tradition going on. Actually, if I would circumsize
- my child in Finland people would think that I'm a sadist :-). Anyway,
- my point is that aren't we really dealing with a tradition, and not
- a practical thing?
