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...

You enjoy speculation about.... Never mind.

Did it mention a concrete example of a time when circumcision would be life-threatening? I'm drawing a blank. Extreme extreme anemia? Emergency conversion in an all-too-accurate Civil War reenactment field hospital?
