| dc.description.abstract | Regulations on chemical castration for perpetrators of sexual violence
have been stipulated in the legislation in Indonesia, Law 17 of 2016.
They followed up with Government Regulation (PP) NO 70 OF 2020,
which regulates the chemical castration procedure in more detail.
However, at the level of implementation, medical and bioethical
perspectives, there are still pros and cons. The paradigm of the group that
agrees to perform chemical castration on perpetrators is that the act of
chemical castration causes a decrease in sex hormone (testosterone)
levels, thus helping perpetrators manage their sex drive more
controllable. The paradigm of the group that does not agree on the act of
chemical castration, from the aspect of low levels of sex hormones, will
cause discomfort or health problems in the perpetrator. On the other
hand, the performing physician believes that the doctor's job is to help,
not cause discomfort. Medical studies and bioethical studies of chemical
castration in perpetrators of sexual violence can improve the
understanding of holistic management. | en_US |
