→大卫·利马的性别重置
几年后，曼尼将大卫的案例作为性别改造的成功案例发表，而曾在曼尼实验室工作过的学生表示，发表这篇文章后，曼尼每年仅访问利马家一次，而利马家也对曼尼谎称实验成功。<ref>{{cite web|title=Dr Money and the Boy with No Penis|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dr_money_trans.shtml|publisher=[[BBC]]|accessdate=2012-11-12|archive-date=2013-05-22|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6GnPjwGfc?url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dr_money_trans.shtml|dead-url=no}}</ref>可是，大卫认为曼尼给的建议并不是治疗，而是一种伤害：他在13岁时就萌生出自杀的念头，而布莱恩也因此罹患[[精神分裂症]]。<ref name="bbc-horizon-tv-followup">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dr_money_prog_summary.shtml |title=Dr Money and the Boy with No Penis |date=2005 |website=BBC |series=Horizon |publisher=[[BBC]] |accessdate=2014-09-27 |archive-date=2014-12-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141222132435/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dr_money_prog_summary.shtml |dead-url=no }}</ref>后来，利马家断绝了与曼尼的联系，而曼尼从未承认过这个实验的失败。
直到二十年后，大卫才向记者{{en-link| [[ 约翰·科拉平托|]]('''John Colapinto}} ''') 和性学家{{en-link| [[ 米尔顿·戴蒙|]]('''Milton Diamond}} ''') 对曼尼进行了控诉。戴蒙说服大卫将自己的经历公诸于世，以阻止其他医生继续实施对幼童的性别重塑手术。<ref name=PCSS>{{cite journal|last=Diamond|first=Milton|author2=Sigmundson, HK|title=Sex reassignment at birth.

2002年7月1日，布莱恩因服用过多[[抗忧郁剂]]而死亡；2004年5月4日，大卫也用一把[[削短型猎枪]]结束了自己的一生。<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2004/06/gender_gap.html | title = Gender Gap: What were the real reasons behind David Reimer's suicide? | last = Colapinto | first = J | authorlink = John Colapinto | work = [[Slate]] | date = 2004-06-03 | accessdate = 2009-02-13 | archive-date = 2013-04-27 | archive-url = https://archive.fo/20130427045853/http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2004/06/gender_gap.html | dead-url = no }}</ref>
利马夫妇也表示，是曼尼的实验导致了他们两个儿子的死亡。<ref>"Born a Boy, Raised as a Girl" Documentary, The Learning Channel</ref>
