Sex Offenders Are Still Surgically Or Chemically Castrated In Western Cultures
Castration for sexual offenses in Western cultures has involved both surgical and chemical routes. In the US, surgical or chemical castration is a legal punishment for sex crimes in nine states , but voluntary castration is also an option for offenders. To avoid long prison sentences, sex offenders in states like California and Texas have asked for castration as an alternative. The debate over whether the decision can be considered truly voluntary is ongoing. Chemical castration involves using hormones to reduce or eliminate a sex offender's sex drive. Chemical castration has been a voluntary option in Britain since the mid-20th century. Famously, mathematician Alan Turing voluntarily underwent chemical castration for homosexuality during World War II. Chemical castration is used in the United States, Portugal, Poland, Maldova, Macedonia, Estonia, Israel, Australia, India, Russia, and many other countries in various forms.
