The Minister of health of Norway Brent Hoie says that by this spring, the Government will introduce new laws about circumcision of boys under 18 non-medical. Each year around 2000 babies Jew Muslim and 7 are circumcised in Norway. Yesterday, according to the Jerusalem Post the announcement follows a recommendation by Anne Lindboe Ombudswoman Children Norway to completely prohibit non-medical circumcision of boys younger than 18 without their consent. Lindboe said: "this is not due to lack of understanding of minorities or religious traditions, but because the procedure is irreversible, painful and risky." It is not clear what will provide the draft law.
