The voluntary program to reduce the libidos of high-risk sex-offender convicts is under consideration in Glasgow by the Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership. Participants would take medication and be subsequently monitored by law enforcement.
If the program is successful and further attacks are prevented, it could be expanded to the rest of the country.
“If sex offenders are volunteering to go through with his and willing to change to stop other people being hurt then they should be offered every support possible,” Margaret-Ann Cummings, whose eight-year-old son Mark was murdered by a pedophile in 2004, told the Daily Mail.
Worried about releasing these offenders back into the public, Cummings added that, “it is vital that authorities are not using the public as guinea pigs in an experiment here. Everything must be tightly controlled.”
In England, a similar program of chemical castration was tested at Whatton Prison in Nottinghamshire with 100 volunteers. Researchers involved with monitoring the situation found the results to be “encouraging.”
Unlike physical castration, the chemical process does not remove organs, and is not a form of sterilization. It is usually reversible by discontinuing treatment.
Chemical castration is currently a legal sentence for some of the worst sex offenses in the US states of Iowa, California, Louisiana, and Florida.

ONLY MY OPINION
I doubt very much chemical castration will have any sort of long-term lasting impact. To fix any problem we have to look at the root cause obviously. Concerning paedo, I am not going to go into it in any great detail. But in my opinion based on over 500 hrs of research, What causes paedo? MAN
It is WITHOUT DOUBT a 100% MAN-MADE problem. PAEDO MAKES PAEDO
*NOT ALL* abused children grow up to become abusers. But out of all the thousands of paedo I’ve come across.. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM was abused as a child. I am yet to find one paedo that wasn’t abused. Not always, but a lot of it tends to be generational & runs in families Nurture not Nature.
I have no idea what percentage of abused become abuser. I can make an educated guesstimate of about 50%. MAYBE. But I could very easily be wrong. I genuinely don’t know & before I can work it out, I’d need to know how many paedo & how many abused there are & to my knowledge we just don’t have that information. Not to a reasonably accurate standard anyway.
Chemical castration WILL NOT solve any of the above. BUT, It’s worth trying. At best it may stop some paedo/sex offenders for a period. & if that’s the case, well, If it stops even 1 raping bastard then well, that makes it worthwhile no? At worst it may just act as a very slight deterant to a few. Look at the Justice System, realistically there is no deterant now, or certainly not enough of one. so anything is better than nothing.
But as for long term..
COMPLETELY USELESS, TOTALLY WORTHLESS & UTTERLY POINTLESS. So therefore it amounts to nothing more than HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION.
But they are paedo & it’s better than using children or normal people or monkeys. All of which we know they do.
Yeah, i’m not exactly gonna lose sleep over them experimentating on paedo.
