Do you think the FDA should approve this treatment method for sexual predators?

If i remember correctly the FDA has already approved things like this to lower the predators sexual desire. But the problem remains that even with therapy or drugs or no matter what they use, they is never a sure way to say these people are "cured". Just because the sexual desire may not be there, that doesn't mean that they will lose their want to hurt. It has been reported (even by rapists themselves) that alot of rapes happen not just for sex but because these people crave to feel in control. Taking away sexual desire will not stop them from hurting people/kids in other ways, or using other means to sexually molest them. These men may say they feel "cured" but no one will no for sure.

Heck no! The only real cure for sexual predators is castration and confinement! Depo as far as I know would only prevent pregnancies caused by rape... but then I could be wrong.
