Description
Discuss technological incapacitation including chemical castration and organ surgery for a repeat child molester. The intent is to reduce the sex drive or eliminate entirely the opportunity to sexually perpetrate against a minor. Do you favor such alternatives for chronic offenders or is this beyond the legitimate authority of the courts /correctional system?
If you are in favor, what limits should be established for this practice (selection of offenders for example) and how should such a decision be made. Would you extend these practices beyond child molesters to other types of sex offenses as rape or sexual assault? Should offenders be allowed to ask for surgical castration to enhance their chances to avoid incarceration or earn parole? If you are against the practice, explain why this type of punishment may be too extreme.
