Topic	Child molesters in Alabama will now be chemically castrated, ok?
Aculo 12/31/19 7:23:01 PM #22:	streamofthesky posted... Because in the U.S. we have this thing called the Bill of Rights that explicitly forbids the use of "cruel and unusual punishment" and this law is gonna get thrown out as soon as it's challenged in a federal court, ok? ~~Also IIRC there was a case where a judge offered criminals sentence reductions if they agreed to chemical castration and even that (completely voluntary option) was thrown out as against the law.~~ How exactly is chemical castration cruel and unusual? *Chemical castration* is *castration* via anaphrodisiac drugs, whether to reduce libido and sexual activity, to treat cancer, or otherwise. Unlike surgical *castration*, where the gonads are removed through an incision in the body, *chemical castration* does not remove organs, nor is it a form of sterilization. Sounds pretty humane to me, and fits the crime. If it were up to me, these people would be wiped off the face of the fucking planet. This seems like a less severe alternative, ok? --- ok? <cite>Aculo posted [p:932299045] in Child mole...
