It hasn't been shown to be effective in anyone. I think there needs to be a lot more research done before this even becomes an option. In order to get more data, I'd be in favor of allowing convicts to volunteer for the 'treatment' in return for freedom, or a lesser sentence.

I'd have a hard time backing something like this until it is proven effective. Until then, it seems a bit cruel and unusual to me.

Also, this is a pretty irreversible thing. Despite the overwhelming majority of people convicted of sex crimes being guilty as hell, there are still quite a few who have been wrongfully convicted. I'd really hate to see this forced upon someone wrongfully convicted.
