Is Chemical Castration a Good Thing?

One such argument is that if you give a teen this drug that lets them have sex without the consequences of being pregnant, they will have more sex as they see no reason not to. Furthermore, they might be blind sided by the realization that they now have an STI, as most forms of birth control for women have little to no protection against the infections that their partners may or may not have. It is their ignorance that will blind them as these articles have said. There is an obvious counter to this argument, in that you can teach how this protection must not be taken lightly and that they do not make you invincible. Give them the knowledge of how they will be affected, even with the protection given, and they may be smart enough to heed your warnings and accept your advice as fact.

For example, we tend to blame the media for certain things people do vs. blaming the person for being an idiot and not thinking clearly. With that in mind, sex education courses are supposedly made to prevent pregnancy and STDs and so does abstinence only education programs but which ever program a student attends they will still be at risk and therefore it will be up to them if they make a change or not.

When woman using drugs during their pregnancy they might end up with and abortion because the baby couldn’t take the drug that they are using. Drugs are work by the affect of the brain and it the baby’s brain. When the baby brain is developing it will develop slowly because all of the illegal drugs that is being entered into the baby’s body.

Drugs that are given at birth will mostly affect them when they get older because they where addicted to the drugs and it had affected the baby to where the baby had came out deformed, mentally challenged.

"Chemical castration is a term used to describe treatment with a drug called Depo-Provera that, when given to men, acts on the brain to inhibit hormones that stimulate the testicles to produce testosterone" (2). Depo-Provera is a common birth control pill that containing a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone. Advocates of chemical castration hope that injections of Depo-Provera will prevent men from molesting children. However, some experts argue that Depo-Provera is ineffective and will not pr... ... middle of paper ... ...eferences 1)Castration Works, an article by Susan Feinstein for 212.net regarding the implications of chemical castration on pedophiles. 2)Chemical Castration Law May Backfire, Experts Warn, an article off the ACLU Newswire from September 18, 1996.

The biggest failure of responsibility lies with federal and state prosecutors who turn a blind eye to obscenity on the Internet. If obscenity laws were being vigorously enforced, the last thing hardcore pornographers would want to do is draw attention to their vile wares by engaging in reckless marketing methods. If vigorously enforced, there would also be much less pornography to accidentally stumble across. But prosecutors aren't the only ones at fault. Some ISPs provide parents with an option to filter out the pornography, but they refuse to block access to even illegal pornography unless a parent requests filtering.

Current methods of hormonal contraception have many harmful side effects that can alter the mental and physical health of an individual. These side effects negatively impact on heterosexual women’s lives, as many feel “pressure and responsibility” (Lipton-Lubet, 2012) to take hormonal contraception if they do not want to conceive. Birth control can help gap gender inequality, as it allows women to engage in heterosexual sex without having the worry of unwanted pregnancy. However, this argument suggests that women’s natural, biological ability to have children makes them naturally inferior to men. Hormonal contraception was created to stop ovulation in order to prevent pregnancy and allow women more control over whether they have children or not.

Because he says that people are trying to escape from it by abusing drugs. I happen to disagree with this however. I feel like that boredom isn’t the cause of drug abuse because I then everyone would be a drug addict.
