Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
In regard to Douglas Weidman’s letter (Voice, Sept. 11) complaining about the judge who refused to grant the request of Jeffrey Morse, an accused child molester, to be castrated in order to receive a lighter sentence, I’d like Mr. Weidman to know that surgical castration is not a good idea.
It would be a futile attempt to render Mr. Morse harmless because all the offender would have to do, after the operation, to become potent again would be to take hormone shots on a regular basis, thus causing the surgery to become null and void. There are plenty of men who have lost their testicles due to cancer who now lead perfectly normal sex lies via monthly hormone injections.
