[CIRCUMCISION AND EXCISION: TOWARDS A NON-LAW OF BIOETHICS?]. / CIRCONCISION ET EXCISION: VERS UN NON-DROIT DE LA BIOÉTHIQUE?

This article defines the practices of circumcision and excision, and studies their foundations. Then, it considers some of the conflicts (of rights, laws and cultures) inherent to these practices. Finally, it suggests that the solution to these conflicts may not lie in the law, but in a non-law of bioethics.
