Tennessee state representative files proposal to chemically castrate sex offenders who victimized...

I'm for it. No one has a right to remain a predator. This, or lock up, it could be a choice.

There are other states with these laws on the books. The good part is that it is reversible.

I agree with other commenters. While I am generally in favor of rendering sexual predators' reproductive organs inoperative, how does the state render a female predator inoperative? Th law must be fair. I'm sure the young boys who are preyed upon by older women initially think themselves lucky to be getting laid, but they are victims just as a young girl would be if her male teacher sexually preyed upon her. Additionally, all it would take would be one lawsuit against "cruel and unusual punishment" to render the entire scheme inoperative. Therefore, I believe that since most sexual predators cannot be rehabilitated, they should be imprisoned for a long time without parole for their first crime, and suffer death (or at least life without parole) for any repeat crimes. Unlike a lot of other crimes, sexual predators' crimes are not victimless as they usually prey on those who are defenseless.
