I thought you did not read the article because it clearly said that this kind of castration did not involve any type of mutilation or physical damage to their body parts. Usually when one says that something is barbaric in this context, the accused is punished by being stoned to death or in this situation would have just cut off his dick and balls, but this is obviously not the case.

Yes, i agree with you that the right to beat off is a human right, however if you rape children repeatedly and scar them mentally for life, then I personally am ok with taking away that human right. But still, here this is not the case because he would still be able to jack off just wont have the urge to do is as often or at all. In any case I would consider this much more humane than keeping him in jail...
