Anyone interested in going?

I couldn't find a great deal on Laurie Zoloth's stance on circ, although she appears to be Jewish. Is she a real medical ethicist?

[serendipity22]

I don't know anything about her. She is probably Jewish first, ethicist second.

To me circumcision ethics is an oxymoron. They are incompatible.
