Sexual reassignment surgery should not be considered ethically acceptable according to the document for several reasons: it violates the Hippocratic oath of doing no harm by mutating healthy bodies; it offers a surgical solution for underlying psychological problems rather than addressing the psychological issues directly; and it does not actually change one's sex, so cannot provide the intended benefit while being a permanent and potentially unsatisfying procedure.

Reason why sexual reassignment should not ethically acceptable
Gender may be the most important dimension of human variation, whether that is either desirable, or inevitable. In every society, male and female children are raised differently and acquire different expectations, and aspiration, for their work lives, emotional experiences, and leisure pursuits. These differences may be shape by how children are raised but gender reassignment, even in early life, is difficult, and problematic. Reassignment in adulthood is even more difficult. Is it ethical to perform a surgery whose purpose is to make a male look like a female or a female to appear male? Is it medically appropriate? Sexual reassignment surgery violates basic medical and ethical principles and is therefore not ethically or medically appropriate. 1. Sexual reassignment undergone surgery which mutates a healthy, non-disease body. it violates the principle primum non nocere, ( first, do no harm ) 2. Candidates for SRS may believe that they are trapped in the bodies of the wrong sex and therefore desire or, more accurately, demand SRS; however, this belief is generated by a disordered perception of self. 3. SRS, therefore, is a category mistake – it offers a surgical solution for psychological problems, such as failure to accept the goodness of one’s masculinity or femininity, lack of secure attachment relationships in childhood with same-sex peers or a parent, self-rejection, addiction to masturbation and fantasy. 4. SRS does not accomplish what it claims to accomplish. It does not change a person’s sex; therefore, it provides no true benefit. 5. SRS is a permanent, effectively unchangeable, and often unsatisfying surgical attempt to change what may be only temporary.
