New York City is investigating the death last September of a baby who contracted herpes after a "ritual circumcision with oral suction," in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish ceremony known in Hebrew as metzitzah b'peh.
In a practice that takes place during a ceremony known as the bris, a circumcision practitioner, or mohel, removes the foreskin from the baby's penis, and with his mouth sucks the blood from the incision to cleanse the wound.
Yes you read that right.
He removes the foreskin and then sucks the little boys penis.
All in the name of some mythical skydaddy.
Wrong on so may counts.
1) Superstition.
2) Mythology.
3) Child Molestation.
4) Torture.
5) Abuse.
6) And yes, Health Reasons.
