chemically castrated? absolutely. make rapists unable to ever attain an erection again. rape is in some ways a disease of impulse control -- a man sees a human being and is ultimately unable to resist the temptation to rape. it can be seen from a purely utilitarian perspective: > man has impulse to rape -> man is unable to resist impulse -> man commits rape as such, you can simply remove the impulse to rape: the erection. we're complicated creatures, but logic dictates that the behavioral impulse for rape can only be accomplished with an erection... therefore, just remove the erection.  then we execute anyone who rapes without sexual gratification. this signifies something more malign than some kind of biological inability to resist basal impulses; it signifies spite or contempt for innocent people and a willingness to do permanent harm. we should remove all such people from not just the gene pool or society but existence.
