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...

I think hemophiliacs these days inject the missing clotting factors on a regular basis, with larger injections when they hurt themselves. So I imagine that with a combination of laser and then just hatafat dam brit, it would be pretty reasonable. I don't know- maybe they could even do a regular bris with the proper injections beforehand, although I doubt that they'd have the whole routine set up and stable enough to do it at 8 days old...
