Hello,
It is painful because one, who deprives the naturalness of one's body of an organ or organs, cannot behave like a normal person. For example, if only one kidney remains inside one's body, it will have to perform the function of two kidneys. Other examples are one, as a physically abnormal person, becomes incapable of performing hard jobs--like sailors and the police-and becomes incapable of participating in sports--basketball, tennis, badminton, a marathon and so forth.
If the second underlined phrase above ''as a physically abnormal person' in bold is not used, will the first underlined phrase 'cannot behave like a normal person' in bold be represented in context of the whole paragraph? In other words, is the second underlined phrase a superfluity? Please note that the two underlined phrases are referring to the same person.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you.
With best wishes.

You are right. The paragraph has worse problems than that, however. (Though perhaps it is only that I sense the prejudice behind it).
