Why not?Of course it's not 100% effective but that's not a good argument against it.
If a child molester is released after being castrated, and molests again, I wouldn't like it!
Thus my suggestion of life in prison, without any possibility of parole.
Of course it will have SOME effect, in most cases.Furthermore, a male's sex drive is determined in large part by their testosterone levels. Suggesting that chemical castration will have no effect on their sex drive is a little silly.
But not all.
And sex is not always the primary motivator in such things.
The vast majority of them are male. Exceptions to the rule need not muddy the waters, nor should the prospect of innocent people being falsely punished, since that is inherent to a human justice system.
Actually, innocent people being punished unjustly are the example that puts the lie to the human attempts at a "justice" system.
Sure, it may work for most cases, and actually improve overall conditions.
But it still is nowhere near perfect, and it makes mistakes, some of which are not corrected.
I like to think that it, while not perfect, is constantly being improved towards perfection.
