So are we going to designate an island so we can babysit them for the rest of their natural lives?[/quote] Believe it or not, I don't have a problem with that idea.

I need to check my Moral Theology source but first reaction would be no it's not moral. The ends don't justify the means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Rape and pedophilia are crimes committed by sick individuals. Last time I checked castration wasn't a cure for any sickness. I can't see it solving any problems. Maybe helping... maybe not, I won't even speculate on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Granted not all of them are violent sex offenders, but even if only 10% are, what island are you gonna commandeer to house them? And who is gonna pay to lock them up and throw away the key?

CatherineM Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I can think of a few ghost towns in Oklahoma we could fence them in at. With the hard clay layer at 3 feet, they couldn't even tunnel out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame Vengier Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 When things like [url="http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/03/12/sex.offender.gps/index.html"]THIS[/url] happen, I think a lot of people would be more than happy to see some castration happen--voluntary of otherwise--and would worry about the morality of it later. It's sad, but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
