This is a form of psychological treatment in which various homosexual images and videos are shown to the participants while subjecting them to electric shocks and vomit-inducing injections.
However, when this did not work, homosexual males and females were forced to undergo a sex change operation instead. Upon completion, these individuals were given new identity documents, discharged from the military and told to cut themselves off from all family and friends.

Ethical guidelines that were breached during this experiment include voluntary participation, informed consent, debriefing and withdrawal.
Most of the participants only took part in this experiment because they felt forced into having to by their families, the society at that time and the South African Defence Force, which they were a part of.
The participants were aware that aversion therapy was going to be used in this experiment but up until then, there hadn’t been any extremely dangerous cases involving this therapy. So they were not expecting to be electric shocked or to receive vomit-inducing injections.
They were also not given the option to withdraw from these experiments and because of this, many of them died during the gender reassignment surgery. Even if they pulled out of the Project, they’d still be a part of the Defence Force until they were discharged.
