Circumcision of male infants" was addressed in a " . llink("/library/legal/QLRC/","research paper") . " published by the Queensland Law Reform Commission in December 1993. The preface addresses the problem when it states "From the Commission's research to date, it is apparent that there are two quite vocal sides of the debate on routine male circumcision. One side advocates the practice, primarily on a preventative health basis or on religious grounds. The other side opposes the practice, primarily on human rights and preservation of bodily integrity grounds. Both sides rely on medical evidence and opinion to support their respective views". Having considered all the information the paper concludes with "The Commission has yet to decide what, if any reform of the law should be recommended in relation to infant male circumcision.""); p("J.
