I don't think that man is petitioning for its allowance from a medical perspective. That would stand as a clever loophole for him to exploit, but I don't think that's his perspective. Maybe I'm wrong, but I see religion as a very strong motivator here. And once he petitions for 'circumcision', what will he be after next? Where does the slippery slope end? That's what I think we'd really do well to be concerned with. If we tolerate, where does that tolerance end? And where does lack of tolerance become hate, and censorship, and even racism? I have a feeling that line does not ideally lie (for the best of all, religious and non) where they're liking to draw it.
