Singapore is open to chemical castration, but what are ethical, health concerns? Experts point to considerations on who receives the treatment, duration of the process and whether it is proportional to the offence Experts point to how safeguards would be set regarding who receives the treatment, the duration of the process and if resulting medical consequences would be proportional to the offence. The debate comes after Senior Minister and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam’s written parliamentary reply last week, where he said Singapore was open to considering chemical castration if there was clear evidence that the measure was effective in lowering crime rates. But Shanmugam stressed that evidence around the method remained inconclusive, pointing out that the country already had “heavy penalties” in place for such crimes.
