Laws of impotence

Article Abstract:

California has enacted a law that mandates the chemical castration of some parolees who were repeat sex offenders, but the law is fundamentally flawed. There is little evidence that chemical castration works, and there are known side effects associated with the castration drug, Depo-Provera.
