QCassidy352 said:quite frankly, I think it's admirable. He knows he can't control himself, and is willing to go this length to stop hurting others.
Just curious, how could the "jury be out on whether this works?" Without testicles he'll have no sex drive, meaning he'll have no motivation to molest. Unless you think his underlying psychology will still drive him to molest even though he'll get no sexual gratification from it... but I don't buy that.
IMHO, what we have here is a sick person who really doesn't want to hurt others and who is brave enough to do something really drastic to control himself.

idkew said:i do agree this is psychological, i also believe that his problems will be helped by no longer producing the normal amount of testosterone. it is a very powerful chemical, which does not cause bad behavior, but can help promote it in a psychologically ill person. i am all for reducing the amount of testosterone in convicted sexual predators.
btw- didn't the army make a shot/pill that makes you impotent? this would be a good part of punishment for people like this.
