The chemical castration was never supposed to be about thinking sexual predation was hereditary. It was supposed to be about quelling sexual urges. Unfortunately it’s generally a power thing, not a sexual impulse/urge thing. So it’s just cruel and unusual.
I think the problem is partly that things like not allowing convicted child rapists to have children seems like a really really good idea.
But then it’s super duper difficult to draw the line.
