Abstract

Although the topic of sexual offense has received increased public attention in recent years, there has been relatively little research on the ethical issues related to the medical treatment of sexual offenders. Treatment options for sexual offenders include surgical castration and chemical castration through the use of sexual impulse control drugs. Opinions vary on the most effective and appropriate methods for treating sexual offenders. In this article we examine the side-effects of the drugs used in chemical castration and discuss the main ethical issues involved in chemical castration.
