In 2006, Finland outlawed the circumcision of healthy boys.

From Finland's Central Union for Child Welfare (2003):

"The Central Union for Child Welfare considers that circumcision of boys that violates the personal integrity of the boys is not acceptable unless it is done for medical reasons to treat an illness. The basis for the measures of a society must be an unconditional respect for the bodily integrity of an under-aged person."
