Testicle Removal for Minor Felons
In a recent medical paper, prominent Houston surgeon
Louis Girard proposed "Castration as a Deterrent to
Violent Crime." While that alternative has been around
for a while, Girard's sub-theme is new: "For lesser
crimes ... removal of one testicle or one ovary" would
be better than removal of fingers or toes because
partial castration would make the criminal more docile
and would not affect his or her ability to work, allowing
him or her to be returned to society.
