Yeh's reasoning is that these people know it's not right to rape women but they just can't control themselves. Yeh thinks, basically, they're physically sick, but mentally okay. As a result, these rapists should be the priority when it comes to chemical castration.
"Of course, those who are eligible for chemical castration should be evaluated by experts first," she added.
In the meantime, Yeh emphasized that counseling should be the top priority for rapists after they are put behind bars.
Yeh's remarks were echoed by The Good Shepherd Sisters Social Welfare Service Foundation president, Sister Tang Jing-lien (湯靜蓮). Tang believes that the lack of family education is the main problem and should be the priority.
Tang says that authorities should teach rapists how to improve communication, how to respect others and how to love other people instead of simply chemically castrating them.
"[Rapists] don't know how to respect women and how to love other people, because nobody told them how," Tang said.
"Obviously, these people's family education was a failure and their communication with society shut down. Maybe a lot of people look at them as though they are freaks. No wonder these people are violent."
