If they were given for example, a choice between life imprisonment (which is perfectly reasonable for many sex offenders) or Chemical castration & then help, so that they could once again take their place again in normal society, I don’t see anything wrong with that, because some sex offenders will re-offend, and it is for their own & societies good, that they be chemical castrated or otherwise prevented form re-offending.
