Dolores explains why she is a conscientious objector and refuses to assist with infant circumcisions: Im a registered nurse and we have an ethical code - the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses - and it states very clearly that we are charged with the duty to protect our vulnerable patients. If we are not protecting our vulnerable patients, then our licenses are not worth the paper that they are written on. If anyone is vulnerable, it is a newborn baby, a child with no voice. And that is why I carry this sign: I will not do anything evil or malicious and I will not knowingly assist in malpractice. Infant circumcision is malfeasance and malpractice and it is totally unethical. Proxy consent is only valid for a procedure. In other words, parents can give consent for a procedure for their child - thats proxy consent - in a case of treatment or diagnosis, and circumcision is neither. You are not treating a disease and you are not trying to diagnose an illness. Trykk på linken og se hele det korte intervjuet fra youtube. -Mats-
