Lempert et al. (2022) criticized the 2019 BMA guidance for "serious weaknesses". They listed:
# the absence of an explicit stance on the underlying ethical status of NPC, coupled with an implicit permissive stance,<br>
# an incoherent and impracticable analysis of the child’s best interests,<br>
# unbalanced guidance regarding cultural issues,<br>
# unbalanced guidance regarding scientific issues,<br>
# unjustified differential treatment of children of the same sex,<br>
# unjustified differential treatment of children of different sexes,<br>
# problems with child safeguarding, and (8) problems with regulation and training. <br>
# an unjustified presumption of lawfulness of NPC of minors and<br>
#) failure adequately to address recent case law.<ref name="lempert2022">{{REFjournal
