Thumbs up Europeans Debate Castration of Sex Offenders

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/11/world/europe/11castrate.html?_r=2

The Czech Republic has allowed at least 94 prisoners over the past decade to be surgically castrated. It is the only country in Europe that uses the procedure for sex offenders. Czech psychiatrists supervising the treatment — a one-hour operation that involves removal of the tissue that produces testosterone — insist that it is the most foolproof way to tame sexual urges in dangerous predators suffering from extreme sexual disorders.


A step in the right direction.

What's the big deal. Europe has been populated by castrati for several decades. One more in the chorus will hardly be noticed.

Well, a couple of silicone prosthetics and a lifetime prescription for testosterone and he's good as new.

I sense donor reluctance, although the act of contribution may be moot for some of the married folks...

Some of us just have jewels for ornamentation and entertainment purposes while others, for practical application.

Would that be the same Europe from whence the car we celebrate comes? Oh yeah, Europeans, damn them for being the origin nations of the vast bulk of our culture.

I think it's a great idea...even very civil...surgery and all...
I would have suggested a dull knife and red hot iron...Oh...and on public TV...perhaps that will "cure" these other sickos sitting on the sideline...

It is not unknown for women to cry rape to get back at some guy they're angry at for this or that.

This measure should only be used for repeat offenders, as for date rape, unless there is signs of physical trauma, its consensual in my book.

Agreed. Multiple offenses, DNA evidence that all lines up: snip, snip. Only I'd go further. Do something that stops sperm production, permanently. Exit the gene pool.

A case of lead poisoning? It's only $0.25/bullet. And you can make the offender's family pay for it.

It works wonders in China, doesn't it?

And, besides, within a decade or so, won't that be the prevailing law of the land of the Use-To-Be-Free-And-The-Home-Of-The-Use-To-Be-Brave?
