Ban circumcision at birth unless this risks health of the child

I want the Government to ban circumcisions (even ones that are done for religious reasons) on babies unless this would cause health problems. Without a reason circumcision should only be preformed above the age of 16.

There is no reason to preform a circumcision on a baby because if you clean the area well it will be hygienic and new studies show that circumcision doesn't actually reduce the risk of infection. Therefore it shows there is no reason for it and children can't give consent for it to be preformed on them.
