Non- therapeutic male circumcision is quite unclear in Tasmania and this is the reason that the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute has been asking the government to clear the doubts. It is not even known that infant male circumcision is even legal or not.

However, the institute has asked to ban circumcision among infants. It is very important that new laws should be made, which can clarify that circumcision is not allowed for baby boys. It has been noted time and again that parents and relatives make their infants to undergo make circumcision for varied purposes, which are not related to ant medical problem.

Generally, parents get circumcision done of baby boys for religious purposes. The institute has asked that the new law should make it clear about what action can be taken on parents, who go against the law to get circumcision done for their baby boys.

Professor Kate Warner, who is the director of the institute, was of the view, "It should also support measures to encourage individuals associated with these traditions to move away from loosely entrenched and particularly contentious practices”. A lot of pain is involved in the procedure, which can affect the mental growth of a person.
