I suppose the standard answer is that rape is a hate crime.
People dont rape women (or occasionally men) because they want sex, they do it out of hate. I guess using drugs is just an especially cowardly way of doing it, but they (rapists) are all cowards.
I wouldnt approve of castration for the same reason I wouldnt approve of the death penalty... if the court makes a mistake and the defendant wins an appeal, you can't really restore the situation.
