    I think the problem is partly that things like not allowing convicted child rapists to have children seems like a really really good idea.

    But then it’s super duper difficult to draw the line.

      If the state can take those human rights from a criminal, they can make laws that define any one of us as criminal and take them from us.

      The chemical castration was never supposed to be about thinking sexual predation was hereditary. It was supposed to be about quelling sexual urges. Unfortunately it’s generally a power thing, not a sexual impulse/urge thing. So it’s just cruel and unusual.
