No, just a measure to prevent parents mutilating their children for no good reason.

I don't think it's been banned in Germany, It has to be carried out by a person who is medically trained in carrying out such a procedure.

That is anecdotal evidence at best, and is hardly a fact that makes Mohels more "observant" than NHS staff. Did your son have a choice in the matter, by the way?
