It really boils down to what kind of society you want to live in Maria Send a noteboard - 21/04/2010 04:59:38 PM
For me, I do not want to live in a society where The State is able to deal out compulsory treatment in this way.

That being said, compulsory admittance in hospital and compulsory treatment of psychiatric disease is sometimes used, and should be used also. I'm not against compulsory treatment in principle. But there need to be strict regulations, and I also think that psychiatric professionals should treat this topic with some more humility.

One of the key criteria for compulsory treatment is whether the patient has competance to consent to treatment. In certain psychiatric illnesses, this competancy is compromised. I don't think that is the case with child molestors. Hence, they should not be compulsory treated.

from top to bottom.
Are you larger than yourself maybe?

Calling it "castration" makes it sound a million times worse than it actually is. - 21/04/2010 12:44:30 PM 525 Views
Language is critical. - 21/04/2010 02:52:03 PM 410 Views

Are they really using the same chemicals as in 1952? - 21/04/2010 04:40:30 PM 477 Views

Why are you against this? *NM* - 21/04/2010 06:54:20 PM 177 Views
First, because I don't knee-jerk to BURN IN HELL FOREVERRRRR whenever I see "pedophile" - 21/04/2010 07:28:34 PM 463 Views

Although I'm not a psychologist - 21/04/2010 11:29:04 PM 430 Views
I think it's more complicated than just that - 21/04/2010 11:46:14 PM 416 Views
Sounds familiar... - 21/04/2010 11:52:43 PM 428 Views
even if someone did physically castrate a pedophile - 22/04/2010 01:07:15 AM 414 Views
This post proves the truth of what I said above. - 22/04/2010 01:58:06 PM 489 Views
I have a very hard time being unbiased on this subject. - 22/04/2010 01:11:31 AM 484 Views
it would probably only help those who are truly pedophiles. - 22/04/2010 01:30:53 AM 408 Views
No...just kill them *NM* - 22/04/2010 04:44:47 AM 189 Views

you can make any argument sound absurd if that is goal - 22/04/2010 05:07:56 PM 441 Views
You misunderstood my logic. - 22/04/2010 05:11:30 PM 474 Views
It is just theory to you. - 28/04/2010 04:55:51 PM 476 Views
And theory is what the law should be about *NM* - 28/04/2010 05:04:40 PM 196 Views
