The Spin

Mandating chemical castration raises serious ethical concerns about bodily autonomy and medical consent, potentially creating a dangerous precedent for state-imposed medical interventions. The treatment carries significant side effects including weight gain, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and potential depression, while research shows that sexual violence often stems from power and control rather than simple hormonal imbalances that medication can address. This approach risks creating false security while failing to address the deeper societal attitudes that drive sexual violence.
