دوستان عزیز
   در حال حاضر در بعضی از کشورهای اروپایی، مجادله ای مابین قانون گذاران کشور، در رابطه با تصویب نهایی قانونی بحث برانگیز وجود دارد که به حکومت اجازه خواهد داد تا متجاوزین جنسی را اخته نماید.
   البته اخته کردن در اینجا نه به معنای نقص عضو فیزیکی فرد مجرم بلکه محروم کردن وی از  لذت بردن جنسی به منظور از بین بردن انگیزه ی اصلی ارتکاب جرم در این افراد می باشد.

ممنون می شوم اگر بتوانید نظراتتان را راجع به این مطلب بفرمایید.
