[Avodah] Leading Charedi Posek Says metzitza' Should Not

[kennethgmiller at juno.com]

Several posters are discussing whether metzitza is "an integral part of 
the mila" or not. I do not understand this discussion. Regardless of whether it is an integral part of the milah, or whether it is a separate mitzvah, it is pretty important either way, and those who would set it aside for health reasons had better judge the matter very carefully.

Perhaps the real question is not "is it an integral part of the mila", but to what extent it is truly required at all. In other words, perhaps the real question is whether health considerations are the ONLY force behind metzitza, or whether there are also other considerations.
