Legalization of child pornography?

Castration it is, then.

Won't happen, though. We've tried forced sterilization before in the US but black and native American women were the primary targets, often being surgically sterilized without their knowledge. It was such a disaster that I don't see us repeating it. And that doesn't even bring up the biological issues that come up from the body not producing sex hormones.

Plus, I can't see either political party going for it. The left won't be fond of the 'cruel and unusual punishment' aspect and the right will probably just want to execute pedophiles. Honestly, I can see that happening: child sex crimes are punishable by death. I would probably be ok with it if I didn't see so many flaws with the justice system in general and especially the death penalty.

I think something similar might be likely, though, and I would be better with this: you're convicted of a sex crime, the judge has the option of offering you voluntary castration in leu of prison time. I feel like the job of our justice system is to protect us; if the judge feels like the offender won't re-offend if their sex drive is taken, I would be more comfortable with that.
