Nifty!

I just read a teshuva from the CJLS about Conversion without a bris in a case where the bris would be potentially life threatening. It was an interesting and clear read (the answer was: currently no). But there was a footnote talking about circumcision by laser, and how that may make it possible, thus solving the problem in some cases. I enjoy such speculation...

There are cases of hemophilia in the Talmud: when two sons die at their Bris, the parents are no longer obligated to circumcise the third.

Although with current hemophilia medication, I wonder if it is still life-threatening to be cut... Don't know, not my field of expertise.
