I don't support this legislation but I also do not live in the EU. Honest question, why do we (US, EU, wherever) not have more harsh punishment for child SA? Why not castrate the offender after two strikes or even one? I am sure there are other biological reasons for this to happen but I got the impression a lot of abusers were abused as children.

That's orthogonal to whether or not we should implement a means to catch those that transmit child pornography.

Is castration intended to "cure" the criminal or do you think it would act as a deterrent? Would you consider castration for any kind of rape?

It sounds as though the next obvious step would be to amputate the hand of the serial shoplifter, etc. I'm personally not in favor of giving the state that kind of irreversible authority over our body parts.
