Castration for Sex offenders!!

Found some interesting articles on the use of castration as punishments for sex offenders. I never knew that it was common practice and even law in some territories. I’ve listed the links below. I’ll let you decide for yourself whether it’s a good idea or not.

Haha! Personally I think it’s a great idea! Perhaps the use of chemical castration would be advisable initially (because we would like them to be rehabilitated right?) but if they are repeat offenders and unlikely to be reformed then perhaps the more permanent form of surgical castrated would be appropriate. If they continue to offend, then lop the rest of it off!
