I think convicted rapist should be castrated. Not all convicted rapist spend their rest of their lives in jail. Some get out at an able enough age to do it again.
Good question... Can we ever be 100 % sure if someone convicted of rape really did it? It's the same problem with the death penalty. It's such a final sentence, it can't be revoked if new evidence shows the person in question didn't commit the crime.
And what do we do with girls who have sex, then have second thoughts and cry "rape"? You have all the evidence in the world to convict some hapless guy... Should we sterilize women who wrongly accuse a man of raping them?
Rapers are utter loosers. Let's face it. They probably won't ever procreate anyways...

Also, apart from the obvious problems, there is also an issue that men use other objects to penetrate women, and it is still counted as rape.

Of course... There is medical castration, which is reversible. But then the rapist needs to be willing to take the drugs.

It's not that bad an idea, if you could prove guilt beyond all doubt, but that's impossible in most cases. And even if you could it should probably only happen with serial rapists, people who already been in jail for rape once before or people who when released show no sign of wanting to better their lives.
But still it's pretty much impossible to check all of those things and open to human interpretation and thus possibly faulty... So no rapists should not be castrated.
My bad, it does not fall into ''rape'' but penetation by object falls into sexual assult.
It is a silly idea. Especially since the idea that it is man's urge which makes him rape a woman.
That is an insult to a lot of men.

I think it falls under the cruel and unusual punishments category in the U.S. Rape is cruel, but I think cutting off a part of the human body is more so.
I had to search on dictionary.com to know what castrated meant and when I read it I was all WTF? Why the **** would anyone want to do that? Would you remove a person's limbs if they commit assault? Would you remove a person from all shops if they rob one? Would you remove a person's alcohol if they commit public drunkeness?
What a stupid thing to do, why punish someone for making a mistake?

Why waste the government's time and money paying for a castration when we can just throw them in prison and let the other inmates do it for us? Prisoners usually beat the shit out of rapist prisoners, sometimes castrating/sodomising them. Saves us time and money. Ah, the wonders of justice.
