Getting to know the chemical castration, the punishment for the perpetrators of sexual crimes

Chemical castration began to be the subject of a conversation after the Mojokerto District Court (Mo) panel of judges, who sentenced the alleged rape of nine children in Mojokerto, Muh Aris bin Syukur. In addition to chemical castration, he was also sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment and a fine of 100 million rand for six months in prison.

However, the application of the chemical castration penalty itself had sparked rejection, including one from the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI). The IDI refuses to be the performer because he considers that the castration injection is contrary to the code of ethics and the oath of the profession of doctor.

Chemical castration, cited in The Sun, involves injecting drugs containing anaphrodisiacs that reduce sexual desire and libido.

Chemical castration usually takes three to five years.

Leuprorelin is a drug often used in chemical castration, which is used to "treat" difficulties controlling sexual arousal, sadism or the tendency to harm others. In addition, there are also medroxyprogesterone acetate, ciproterone acetate and LHRH medications that reduce testosterone and estradiol.

Chemical castration has been used since 1944 to punish sex offenders by injecting the perpetrators.

But the effect is not only to reduce libido, because chemical castration also causes side effects.

According to the National Biotechnology Information Center (NCBI), the side effects of chemical castration are osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, impaired glucose and lipid metabolism. A person may also suffer from depression, infertility, anemia and heartburn.

Chemical castration also had a sensational conversation when Michael Jackson was castrated by his father, Joe Jackson, to keep his voice high.

The news was transmitted by Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray. The doctor made a claim in an interview following Joe's death.

Prince Jackson, son of Michael Jackson, uploaded a video on Instagram and made his defense. Prince tells his followers that Joe's actions are still considered good by his children. If not, maybe his kids will become gangsters.
