It's official: Indonesia's new law castrates pedophiles...

Indonesia will begin chemically castrating convicted pedophiles in an effort to combat child sex abuse, an official said, after a string of high-profile attacks.

It would be carried out by injecting pedophiles with female hormones, he said. Full story...
