Agree with Strange on this one - any form of permanent punishment, be it castration for sexual offenders, cutting the hands off thieves, or killing convicted murderers, goes too far when the possibility of making an error is too large.
Here we've had a number of high profile cases where people convicted of murder and sexual crimes have had their convictions overturned when they were subsequently proven not-guilty. Imagine we'd killed or castrated these poor bastards who, it turns out, did nothing wrong.
