I wonder if there is no attention, a change in human history in Asia and a history of sexual crimes legislation into effect in Korea: From July 24, 2011, the South Korea will allow law enforcement agencies on sexual crimes against minors to implement a "chemical castration . " According to South Korea, "Chosun Ilbo," the disclosure, after the implementation of new regulations, expected about 100 people each year will be "chemical castration."

Chart: 2010 Phoenix "girl jumping" case five defendants found guilty of rape were sentenced to death, and imprisonment for an indefinite period, associated with civil compensation for economic loss of 350,044 yuan the plaintiff.

Implementation of chemical castration of sex offenders is a good way to South Korea this approach is interesting, worth watching! I think, in the context of high crime, sex, Chinese sex offenders if the implementation of the "chemical castration", especially for some of the rapists are not sentenced to death, are not to, quite necessary. Significant for two reasons: first, effective; second, punishing sex crimes more humane, more civilized, according to South Korean media reports, the so-called chemical castration, not the outside have surgery, is injected to these sex offenders or taking hormones to "castration" to curb their sexual impulses. Say "chemical castration" is a humane means of punishing crime, because this means castration, does not cause permanent irreversible reproductive damage, was torture can also have sexual performance.

Chemical castration is not a new invention, points of view on the means of castration, chemical castration has been divided into two kinds and physical castration, also known as "drug castration" and "surgical castration" and the "physical castration" is the most popular.

Castration, should the Chinese people that is not unfamiliar, non-commonly known as "castration" is the human or animal reproductive organs to the destruction, the ability to cancel their sexuality, reproductive capacity. The people, the main implementation of the object is castrated men. Some Japanese scholars believe that the world's first "physical castration" is a Chinese invention. I looked at the statistics, from the Shang dynasty oracle bone inscriptions can be found, "pickled" and "cut" structure similar, are placed next to a man's genitals with a knife, but the genitals and placed in the direction of the knife and location are different, showing that at least the first ten centuries, the ancient Chinese knew castration, castration of the master. But this does not reflect castration is the Chinese people of all patents, said early in the twentieth century BC, the ancient West Asia, slavery - the Assyrian Empire, there will be a record of human castration, that castration is the invention of Asians more precise.

While castration may not belong to China's invention patents, but the castration on its head, the use of extreme castration law, non-Chinese ancients must go. This should not be controversial, one hundred years ago in China there are eunuchs, that is a testament to this.

The ancient Chinese also will be a complete and mature human castration means. Roughly speaking, points in vivo and in vitro two. In vivo, and more for women, removal of the ovaries, in the past people commonly known as "cross-stitch technique"; in vitro rules for men, according to the castration of different purposes, some remove the testicles, some testicles, penis cut off together.

Way to remove the main challenge of testicular pill law, rope-line, kneading three: pick pill method is to use blade cut open the scrotum, stripping out the testicles; tied scrotum law fasten with twine, so testicular not develop; kneading law is directly to the testicle squeeze the bad, let it useless. Pick pill law aimed at adult men; rope-line, kneading rule for boys. These means of castration, had long used to make eunuchs.

Incidentally, the modern surgical family planning is actually a physical castration, we do not need to avoid this. But its smaller body injury, is "civilized civilized thing to do", only to tie up the vas deferens or fallopian tubes, to prevent sperm-egg through in order to achieve the purpose of birth control, namely the private so-called "ligation."

If the implementation of China's chemical castration for sexual offenses, are relatively easy to accept the social, civil easy to understand, the public tolerance is high, because China was the first to apply the law of the country means castration, "castration" and there is such a thing back .

Castration, also called Fu Xing, and Zhuo Yin criminal punishment, destruction of male and female reproductive capacity is a punishment that "her husband cut their potential, women's closed in the Palace", this sentence is popular to say, is the cut off man's genitals, undermine the woman's uterus, ovaries and other reproductive system. Generally believed that early castration in ancient China, "five punishments" (ink, cut off the nose, Fei, Gong, Osake), one of the corporal punishment (corporal punishment), the most severe form of punishment, second only to the large provision (beheaded). Up from the historical analysis, Yu had previously appeared, later than in the Zhou Dynasty (mid-11th century BC - 256 BC) to have a mature castration penalties.

Castration, in the ancient law to adapt to a wide range, in addition to other death row, as long as the offender die, as large as against the State, to the insulted small, all crimes are likely to be subjected to castration. If they are eunuchs as ancestral worship and burn incense and the "Historical Records" author, great historian Sima Qian, the received castration. This castration by Sima Qian is very unjust, simply because the Huns were around for the expedition was forced to surrender to be fair, Li Ling, Liu Che, Emperor Wu was sentenced to castration, and took two out of money by not the crime of brutally castrated. Later, many guilty of conspiracy, outrageous sinners, in addition to Manmenchaozhan outside, not beheaded, and the palace of fine men and women are slaves, before the reunification palace which men impose Fuxing (become a eunuch).

However, castration is the first use of targeted crime, and only in an improper sexual relations between men and women, will be punished by castration, the Republic of Korea is now the implementation of sex crimes, "chemical castration" of the mind should be the same, only later castration was abused by the rulers to carry a scorn. Castration in order to maintain the order of man's first marriage, first marriage and the birth of civilization.

Of course, if sex offenders now on, the implementation of the destruction of marriage and family by means of physical castration of castration, is clearly too inhumane, and also with the highly civilized modern society seriously inconsistent. By introducing chemical castration castration, I see not a bad idea, especially because of extra-marital affairs in a straight line on the line leading to the divorce situation, the context of high crime.
