Polish President Lech Kaczynski has signed into law the compulsory chemical castration of some sex offenders.

The practice has been tried in other countries, but usually on a voluntary basis.
According to its politicians, Poland now has the severest legislation towards paedophiles in Europe.
Under the law adults convicted of raping a child under the age of 15 or committing incest will be forced upon release to take drugs to reduce their libido.
The practice is commonly referred to as chemical castration.
The Polish law was drafted following a high profile case last year, in which a 45-year-old man repeatedly raped his daughter and fathered two children by her.

This is too expensive to enforce. Why not cut their balls off and be done with it. My dog seems more happy since that was done to him, and his only crime was pissing on my car tires. Besides, sex offenders should be sterilized so they do not have children and pass on their defective genes or abuse their own children.

Courts have never found an innocent being guilty before.

Imbeciles.

kingwilly

Dunno exactly where I stand on this issue, on balnace I feel that chemical castration is not a bad thing

Chairman Mao

People might actually wish to peer past the sensationalism of the word 'Castration' when used in reference to libido reducing drugs.

Prolly too much to ask of some mind.

Carnwadrick

Why wait until their release to give them the drugs??

blackgang

For once there Chairman, I do whole heartedly agree with you,, a knife does not change the libido of someone past puberty, which the chemical is supposed to do.

Are you sure of that? If you sterilize by cutting the passage off you are right. But if you castrate, that is remove the balls it should make a major difference in the hormonal balance.

This is a question, I am not sure.

My problem with using the chemical treatment is that it is not safe. The subject can go into hiding and avoid the treatment this way. Unfortunately it is not a one off treatment but needs to be applied continuously to remain effective.

Maybe a stupid question, but would drugs like viagra not counteract these drugs that the patients have to take thus making it all pretty pointless???

blackgang

Not really, but I am familiar with animals and if you cut them young then they have no libido and are not going to try to breed, Will be of a milder temperament,, and do not take on the physical characteristics of the un-neutered males.
But if left til later and have started to develop as a standard animal and then you cut them, they still have some ideas about breeding and will be trying to do it and with the same temperament as they would have had if they had not been cut.

But then again, I am of the school that they should never be turned loose on society again either.

I think its more of a problem with their mind rather than their sex drive.

Sdigit

Country members of the EU cant even fart these days without the OK from their maters in Brussels so I am surprised that it has been signed into Polish Law, personaly I doubt if this chemical castration issue will ever become a reality.

I'm with Blackgang on this and believe they should cast them down in the deepest dungeons and throw away the key

Takeovers

I think they need both the mindset and the sexdrive. If you take away the drive they should be much less dangerous.

StrontiumDog

There's evidence to suggest this wont work in all cases.

1. They have to take it forever. They are unlikely to.

2. Pedophile behaviour is more than just libido. It is based in the emotional and psychological background of the individual. So, they might not be sexually active, but their minds are still damaged and the sadistic or sadomasochistic elements of child sex abuse will still be very much alive and seeking expression. There are many ways to abuse.

So, it's another weapon in the struggle to deal with this, but it isn't a solution.

Locked up until safe is the only way. If never safe, then never released. The only way to be sure.

Guess I have to start giving reds, I never give them so seems I will not get any grees to give out until I expend my issue of reds..
so seems like y'all boys had better watch how you act..

Sdigit

Are ya feeling left out BG? here have a green and have a happy sunday

No sorry I cant green you just yet, it wont let me, I'll catch you later

blackgang

Not necessary to give me any, I really have a lot of them, but I have none to give, it will not let me give any,, so I guess I have to give reds til I get a new issue. I do not really underrstand how this works.

StrontiumDog

Why would you red a post that agrees with yours?

StrontiumDog

I agree, I seldom red. I only resort to it if given one by someone else first.

I think if you green a few other folks, you can green someone you've already greened again. Need to spread the love around a bit

Cheers BG
