Lempert et al. (2022) criticized the 2019 BMA guidance for "serious weaknesses". They listed:

(1) the absence of an explicit stance on the underlying ethical status of NPC, coupled with an implicit permissive stance,

(2) an incoherent and impracticable analysis of the child’s best interests,

(3) unbalanced guidance regarding cultural issues,

(4) unbalanced guidance regarding scientific issues,

(5) unjustified differential treatment of children of the same sex,

(6) unjustified differential treatment of children of different sexes,

(7) problems with child safeguarding, and (8) problems with regulation and training.

(9) an unjustified presumption of lawfulness of NPC of minors and

(10) failure adequately to address recent case law.<ref name="lempert2022">{{REFjournal
