EU Politicians Angered By Polish Chemical Castration Plan

The news appalled Tusk. "I don't believe that such individuals, such creatures, can be called human," he said. "In this case one can't even argue on behalf of human rights." He wants to impose "chemical castration" as a punishment in Poland. In his words, castration would not come "at the request of the convict, but rather as a part of the verdict." The forced punishment would apply "mainly to pedophiles, particularly those who have no hope of reform."

In Germany, the conservative Christian Democrats have pushed numerous times for the introduction of "chemical castration." The debate became especially heated in the 1970s after the death of convicted sex offender Jürgen Bartsch, who abused and killed three children. To avoid lifelong detention in a psychiatric hospital, Bartsch opted for castration. In April 1976, operating room nurses administered ten times the normal amount of anesthesia, and Barsch died shortly after the operation.

Les médecins de l'hôpital d'État d'Eickelborn ont choisi une méthodologie de castration qui a accidentellement eu comme conséquence la mort de Bartsch. Une autopsie et une recherche officielles ont déterminé que Bartsch avait été enivré avec un surdosage de Halothane (facteur 10) par une infirmière insuffisamment qualifiée. De source Wikipedia
