The kit had been offered by a third party seller and offered instructions and instruments that could be used to practice circumcision on a model of male.
Circumcision is typically done for religious or medical purposes on very young boys.
The National Secular Society in Britain complained to Amazon that the training kit violated Amazon’s standard’s policy.
The group said it feared the sale of the kit would encourage unqualified practitioners to carry out unneeded surgery in non-clinical conditions.
I don’t understand why they banned this, when they are selling brain surgery kits.
Too bad, was just about to order it. I guess I have to go back to practicing on plantains.
Terrible. What happened to freedom of religion?
They are 100% right. What kind of craziness is this?
