Sexual Preference Research Paper
Sexual Preference and Sexual Related Surgery
Sexual preference means how you are attracted romantically and sexually to other people. A person can be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or even asexual. Many people discover more about this part of themselves overtime. Some people discover their sexuality in their preteen years. Some people may even realize they are more comfortable with becoming the opposite sex in which they were born. I truly believe individuals should not have the capability of changing the sex they were born but the technology is out there. Sexual related surgery takes place when an individual feel that their physical appearance may not match their gender identity and how they feel inside. After the surgery you will the terms transgender or transexual to describe someone who has had a sex change.
Ethical views We have several ethical concerns about genetic research on sexual orientation. Underlying these concerns is the fact that even in our contemporary societies, lesbians, gay men, and …show more content…
bisexuals are subject to widespread discrimination and social disapprobation. Against this background, we are concerned about the particularly gruesome history of the use of such research. Many homosexual people have been forced to undergo "treatments" to change their sexual orientation, while others have "chosen" to undergo them in order to escape societal homophobia. All too often, scientifically questionable "therapeutic" approaches destroyed the lives of perfectly healthy people. "Conversion therapies" have included electroshock treatment, hormonal therapies, genital mutilation, and brain surgery.11 We are concerned about the negative ramifications of biological research on sexual orientation, especially in homophobic societies. In Germany, some scholars have warned of the potential for abuse of such genetic research, while others have called for a moratorium on such research to prevent the possible abuse of its results in homophobic societies. These warnings should be taken seriously. I believe people should have the right to be with whom they choose whether it is the same sex or not. However i do not believe we should have the ability to change our sex because it can be misleading to someone who is completely heterosexual and has no desires for the “same sex” even though you went through a sex change. Its can also be a bit disrespectful to someone who was born a woman and see a man convert to a woman and not go through all the things a biological woman does and does not carry themselves in a proper a way as a woman should.
Professional Ethics
The vast and expanding scope of medical practice combined with increasing diversity of opinion within modern society has led to escalating public discussion of conscience issues in healthcare. Various terms including “moral stress”, “moral distress,” and “ethical distress” have been used to describe the existential anguish experienced by health professionals when facing challenging ethical situations. The majority of research relating to stress of conscience refers to situations where health providers are unable to fully address the needs or challenges of those receiving care. These factors may lead to a “troubled conscience”, or “stress of conscience” among practitioners as a consequence of failure to attain what their conscience expects or demands of them to do. In the work setting i believe your ethical views should be kept to yourself. Although a situation may be stressful to us because we do not agree with the patient at the time, it is not our responsibility to force our beliefs on them or others. We may work with people that may have a had a sex change, homosexuals, and some may not have a sexual preference or sexual identity but they are still people that we have to respect despite our views.
Sexual Related Surgery Sex reassignment surgery or SRS (also known as gender reassignment surgery, genital reconstruction surgery, gender confirmation surgery, sex reassignment surgery, or, colloquially, a sex change) is the surgical procedure (or procedures) by which a transgender person's physical appearance and function of their existing sexual characteristics are altered to resemble that of their identified gender. It is part of a treatment for gender dysphoria in transgender people. Related genital surgeries may also be performed on intersex people, often in infancy. A 2013 statement by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture condemns the nonconsensual use of normalization surgery on intersex people. [
Another term for SRS includes sex reconstruction surgery, and more clinical terms, such as feminizing genitoplasty or penectomy, orchiectomy, and vaginoplasty, are used medically for trans women, with masculinizing genitoplasty, metoidioplasty or phalloplasty often similarly used for trans men.
People who pursue sex reassignment surgery are usually referred to as transsexual (derived from "trans," meaning "across," "through," or "change," and "sexual," pertaining to the sexual characteristics--but not necessarily sexual actions--of a person). More recently, people pursuing SRS may identify as transgender as well as transsexual. While individuals who have undergone and completed SRS are sometimes referred to as transsexed individuals, the term transsexed is not to be confused with the term transsexual, which may also refer to individuals who have not undergone SRS, yet whose anatomical sex may not match their psychological sense of personal gender
identity.
Conclusion Like straight people, LGBT people belong anywhere that they can use their talents and abilities. Sexual orientation and gender identity have nothing to do with abilities, talents, or job performance. If forced to remain in the closet for fear of job discrimination, a person may experience depression and other psychological problems that could impair his/her ability to work effectively; but it is homophobia and transphobia—not sexual orientation or gender identity—that cause the problem. We have to treat others how would like to be treated regardless of our ethics, morals, or beliefs.
