What do you think about this experiment?
If this was carried out in today's society what do you think would be the outcome? (same or different) and why?
In this experiment, white homosexual males that were drafted (primarily ages 16-25) were shipped to military psychiatric wards, more specifically ward 22 of Voortrekkerhoogte hospital. Here the psychiatrists would use a series of harmful torture like electric shock therapy, chemical castration, hormone treatments and forced transexual operations.
As founded homosexuality is not a “disease”, but possibly a matter of genetics and/or a subjection to trauma that is gender specific. Also discovered that forced gender reassignment paired with other unethical treatments will not necessarily “cure” homosexuality but will make the individual scared or reluctant to share his/hers accepted lifestyle .
The purpose of the Aversion project was to "cure" homosexuality in white male individuals by forcing harmful treatments onto them.

A majority of the 900 individuals who underwent these gender reassignment surgeries have been reported to have committed suicide due to the emotional and mental confusion of their gender and as far back as their identity, as proved, gender is a huge part of one's identity. THe results have shown that the treatment carried out on these individuals and in this experiment were harmful to the patient's well-being.

Ethics play a big role in this experiment because as most studies say it's unethical to force gender reassignment surgery onto someone unwilling, other studies say that in the time period, (taking into account that homosexuality obvioulsy was not accepted) these psychiatrists were doing them a favour by fitting them in weather it be forced or not.
