CHEMICAL CASTRATION
chemical castration means injecting female hormones into a man. The female hormone progesterone, when injected in high doses, suppresses the male hormone, androgen, and nullifies the attraction of a man towards a woman. As it inhibits masculinity, the man loses interest in the opposite sex.PROBLEMS IN IMPLEMENTATION
1)The drug used for chemical castration works for just 90 days and the person has to take a fresh dose every three months.
2)Tracing the person every three months and injecting him with anti-androgen drugs once he is out of jail.
3)Unlike surgical castration, which involves removal of the testes, chemical castration is a reversible process. Once the doses are stopped, the convict becomes normal as the male hormones regain their vigor.
4)The drug won’t have any effect if the convict secretly takes male hormonal injections.
