One Danish study suggested the rate of repeat offenses dropped from 80 percent to 2.3 percent after surgical castration. http://www.worthynews.com/news/msnbc-msn-com-id-13709072-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that people get absolutely carried away with emotion when it comes to anything like this, but they have to "step aside from that" and realise that advocating state mutilation of offenders (or otherwise) is exactly what Shari'ah law is all about.

I wish they'd bring the law into effect here in Australia. Faithie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one who finds that to be a hilarious statement? No doubt a government funded study to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, they can chemically castrate men now, without having to actually perform sugery to remove the organ. They can cause impotancy with chemicals preventing men from achieving errection. If I am not mistaken, this would not affect sperm production, and even if it did they could extract the sperm and freeze it prior to initiating the process of chemical castration. I have little doubt that this would all but illiminate that persons desire, let alone ability, to force themselve on unconsenting persons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct?? Power is not an issue with sexual offenders, like pedophiles. It may be a motivating factor with rapists, which are also considered sexual offenders, but it should not be considered the primary motivation. I honestly believe that chemical castration should definately be considered as a deterant to sexual predation, especialy pedophiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexual predators are driven by addiction it is not just simply about sex it is also about the Power they hold over their victim, out of the mouths of some interviewed for T.V. purposes to gain an understanding they have said that the only guarentee is being locked away for the rest of their lives. The problem with that is there wouldn't be enough prison space for all those that are there and the ones soon to be there. Especialy if people realize that one out of every four females are sexualy assaulted. Yet that seems to be the only solution that is 100% at this moment. God Bless!

Guest LadyC Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i disagree, pedophilia is also an act driven by power. castration HAS been offered as an alternative to some sex offenders here in america. if i remember correctly, the aclu was all over it and the judge who offered the option came under a great deal of fire for offering such a "cruel and unusual punishment" even though it was a choice that some offenders preferred, considering castration to be less "cruel" than a lengthy prison term. but still, impotence doesn't prevent sexual assault. even a lack of body parts, were they to be totally removed, won't prevent a person from molesting or even raping again. such a violation can be done regardless of physical limitations.

Will they continue the same nature by other means? Does anyone know the stats for these people recovering from this type of behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
