CP is irreversible & hence a punishment that I simply cannot support if only for the reason that I don't trust the infallibility of justice...It's mutilation, which is worse than torture. If they themselves decide to have it done, no problem. But force it upon them? Nope.

I agree, but I thought about it from another angle. Could we consider these urges as a mental illness? Wouldn't we then want to treat that illness? Of course, there is still the issue of consent. But don't we sometimes say that certain mental illnesses render the patient incapable of giving consent? I'm still undecided.
