Oh I didn't see it as implied criticism.......I saw it as your own view, aired in your own way....and some of the posts which you see as 'apologetic' are also the posters own views....and though we all may have differing views, I feel that the airing of them is healthy.
I haven't really aired my view. I think that paedophilia is reprehensible, and that the perpetrators are mentally sick.....as for treatment, I think that once a person has been convicted/diagnosed (however you want to put it) then all means of curbing their sexual appetites are up for discussion.....and the best available treatment must be used, and
if that is
surgical castration, then so be it.
Like Lettie, I think that volunteering for chemical castration is fraught with difficulties and should perhaps only be used for the short term i.e - perhaps whilst awaiting surgical castration.
As for 'chopping the lot off'....the penis has no influence over sexual urges...more the other way round.
There you have it. I hope it doesn't sound too apologetic or too radical either......I have tried to be balanced but also to take into consideration the terrible damage this crime does to its victims.
