And you're honestly comparing vaccinating children to castrating rapists? The health benefits of vaccinating kids are one of the most settled issues I can possibly think of. Punishment of rapists by castration doesn't seem to serve as any sort of deterrent, and it's cruel and unusual punishment.
If you were locked up with 1,000 rapists how long do you think it would be before some raped you? After that would you still be against castration?
