Denouncing City’s Move to Regulate Circumcision
they would have had sign special consent form.
Always?
Quote: So on Thursday, the city’s Board of Health is scheduled to vote on a proposal that would require parents to sign a consent form indicating that they are aware of the risk of herpes transmission when a circumcision procedure, or bris, includes direct oral contact.
The measure, which Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg strongly supports,
would probably be the first governmental regulation of the ritual in the United States, rabbis say.

It is not standard practice any more. Mohels today have other means to draw out the blood.
This was three years ago and it is the only thing you can think of?
You are misinformed.
Quote: The mohel, A. Romi Cohn, said he had performed more than
25,000 circumcisions, on babies and adults, in New York City and elsewhere over the last 40 years. When he circumcises an infant, he said,
he almost always put his mouth on the baby’s penis to pull blood away from the wound in an ancient part of the circumcision ritual, known in Hebrew as metzitzah b’peh, that is still commonplace in parts of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community but is rare in other branches of Judaism.
The city estimates that metzitzah b’peh is used in some
3,600 local circumcisions each year. The city’s health department says that, between 2000 and 2011, 11 babies contracted herpes as a result, and 2 of them died. This spring, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that the procedure created a risk for transmission of herpes and other pathogens and was “not safe.”
I'd say you are the one with the penis hangup.
I would think that rabbis who suck
thousands of baby penises might have the hangup.
