Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying civilisation. Which is why the West is something of a maggot heap at the moment.
But further East societies seem to be more "virile" -- possibly an unfortunate word choice in the light of this story -- with the news that around 2,000 pedos and other sex offenders in Kazakstan are about to have their aberrant sex drives "put to sleep" in a relatively humane way through "chemical castration."
The move follows an upsurge in underage rapes in the central Asian country, with such offences doubling to around 1000 per year.
As reported by click-bait Newsweek:
The Former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan is set to chemically castrate around 2,000 convicted pedophiles amid a surge in child rapes across the landlocked country.
A Turkestan sex offender, whose identity is unknown, will be the first to receive the injection under the supervision of Kazakhstan’s health ministry, reported Yahoo News. The man was found guilty of sexually attacking a child in April, 2016.
The country’s president Nursultan Nazarbayev has allocated $37,000 (RM111,735) to fund around 2,000 castrations. “At the moment there has been one request for chemical castration in accordance with a court ruling,” Lyazat Aktayeva, the Kazakhstan’s deputy health minister, said. “Funds have been allocated for more than 2000 injections.”
Wow, that's a pretty good "bang for buck" rate -- or should that be "no bang for buck" rate -- as it works out at around just under $20 per chemical castration.
One possible problem is that the treatment is only temporary, as the drug being used is Cyproterone, an steroidal anti-androgen that was originally created for cancer patients.
When administered through injection, it will dramatically reduce a person’s sex drive and libido but effects to dull sexual urges could wear off in time, reported News.com.au. Critics have warned that the procedure is not guaranteed to prevent repeated sexual assaults.
Globally, chemical castration is on the rise, with countries such as Australia, South Korea, Russia, Poland, and Indonesia all using it to deal with rape epidemics.
While stopping rape is clearly a good thing, using drugs and chemicals to control the behaviour of people is also deeply problematic. I suspect that our present rulers would be only too happy to employ drugs that stopped "thought crime" or other politically inconvenient behaviour, so keep a watch on this trend.
