But I oppose any forced mutilation, torture or death penalty.

Why is that so ? Isn't it preferrable to be mutilated and free than not mutilated and in prison for 20 years or life, where one's health will deteriorate and other prisoners may harm, mutilate or even kill that person ?

Another way of seeing is : what is worse, psychological torture or physical torture. I think that many of us are subject to (more or less strong) psychological torture from time to time (in relationship, being forced-fed religious dogmas at school, knowing that Bush is president of the USA...), and overtime it can be worse than physical torture. Chemical castration is a surgical operation under anaesthesia, and shouldn't be seen as "torture". Some people decide to get operated because they don't want children anymore. What's all the fuss about doing it to rapists, if it can take away their "incontrollable pulsions" and facilitate their readaptation into society ?
