Comment on The UK government is considering mandatory chemical castration for sex offenders – it’s an ethical and legal minefield

No, just no.

Even if you think it’s a good idea, there’s way too much room for error. Hundreds of people in the UK have been charged with falsely accusing someone of rape. Just two years ago a woman beat herself with a hammer to accuse someone. Multiple innocent people where harassed, had their homes vandalized, there was attempted suicide, etc. And now they want to add more trauma?

It’s not an “ethical minefield”, it’s sociopathic to even consider.
