Even if you saw a YouTube and thought 'how hard can it be?'.

I am very much a DIYer, and I'm generally able to figure out how to do things, with or without the Youtube video.

In no case is "Perform surgery on my child" among the list of things I think is an acceptable do-it-yourself project.

Oh, and I'm not clicking that link either. I don't want to cringe in pain, weep over what was done to a poor little boy, and burn with righteous anger at the idiots who harmed him.

I'll stick with ignorance and assumptions and disgust with the thought of what might be in that link.

Exactly my first thought.

I will spare you the clicking: a 5 month old male died at a hospital in Italy after his parents did a home circ on him.  No pictures or gory details.

I think Abraham might have done some home circumcisions, but only because he couldn't find any good mohels (mohelim?) on Yelp.

Like makattak, I can also guarantee I won't be trying that at home.

I cannot even imagine the horror the parents must be experiencing.

Probably inappropriate, but I just can't help myself:

How long before we start seeing knifes engraved with "Do Not Use For Circumcisions"

Circumcision is not practiced among Italy’s Roman Catholic majority. Many immigrants in Italy are Muslim and practice circumcision for cultural and religious reasons, but sometimes have trouble accessing the practice in hospitals.

For some, the hospital costs are too high. Also, in some Italian hospitals, doctors refuse to perform circumcisions until the boys have reached the age of 4 or even older.

Foad Aodi, the founder of the association of foreign doctors in Italy (AMSI), has appealed to health authorities to allow circumcisions at affordable prices and to lower the age of access to help fight clandestine attempts at circumcisions.

Also not done by Southern Germany's Roman Catholic majority, though I got snipped when I was born (here). I couldn't even tell you if they even asked my parents, or just did it because it was SOP back then.

Was wondering if it was an immigrant.   "Diversity is our strength!"</sarc>

The ANSA news agency reported that the 5-month-old baby was brought to a hospital in Bologna by helicopter in cardiac arrest on Friday afternoon and died that night.

The prosecutor’s office in the northern province of Reggio Emilia has opened a manslaughter investigation, and the infant will undergo an autopsy.

The tragedy follows a botched home circumcision of a 2-year-old who died of severe blood loss in December in Rome. In that case, his twin brother nearly died, too, but survived following intensive care treatment.
I was wondering if the cause of death was blood loss or infection.  Sounds like blood loss to me.
