I'm all for it as long as the criminal is allowed to make the choice without being forced, coerced or offered incentives to undergo the procedure. Hell, I'm all for regular law abiding citizens being able to have their yarbles lopped off if that's what they want.
But forcing a person to undergo such a procedure is just plain wrong. Just as we don't prescribe lobotomies to violent schizophrenics, we shouldn't allow incredible acts of violence to drag us into the stone ages.

Hynek Blasko, Jakub’s father, expressed indignation that human rights groups were putting the rights of criminals ahead of those of victims. “My personal tragedy is that my son is in heaven and he is never coming back, and all I have left of him is 1.5 kilograms of ashes,” he said in an interview. “No one wants to touch the rights of the pedophiles, but what about the rights of a 9-year-old boy with his life ahead of him?”

Smells like vengeance to me.
