Message-ID: <9164@watmath.UUCP> Date: Tue, 25-Sep-84 23:51:32 EDT Article-I.D.: watmath.9164 Posted: Tue Sep 25 23:51:32 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 27-Sep-84 03:29:29 EDT References: <131@cadovax.UUCP> Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 11 I personnally don't believe that castration would solve the problem of rape. My impression is that rape is a violent crime in which the rapist uses his penis as a weapon. Taking that weapon away from him without trying to either stop him physically from harming people again (by emprisonment) or trying to make this person less violent (by rehabilitation) will simply make him look for another weapon. Most other weapons available will be much more dangerous than the one that has been taken away from him. Sophie Quigley ...!{clyde,ihnp4,decvax}!watmath!saquigley
