billcoe Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I guess I could slightly understand the Enumclaw thing, and generally think that as long as people are consenting adults it's all good: but this story has made me change my mind about being open minded: Soon to be released on Fox - true story movie of the week "Three Men Charged in 'Dungeon' Castration Apr 01 3:53 PM US/Eastern Email this story CHARLOTTE, N.C. Three men have been arrested on charges of performing castrations on apparently willing participants in a sadomasochistic "dungeon" in a rural house, authorities said Friday. "It's extremely bizarre," District Attorney Michael Bonfoey said in a telephone interview. "It's incredible the amount of ways that people can find to run afoul of the law." Sheriff's investigators said Richard Sciara, 61, Danny Reeves, 49, and Michael Mendez, 60, admitted performing at least eight surgeries, including castrations and testicle replacements, on six consenting clients over the past year. None of the three is licensed to practice medicine, officials said. The suspects, all residents of the house in Haywood County, in western North Carolina, where the surgeries were allegedly performed, were arrested Thursday. They were being held on $150,000 bond each and could make their first court appearances Monday, Bonfoey said. The sheriff's office had investigated reports of sadomasochistic acts at the house in 2004, but concluded there was nothing illegal going on because the participants appeared to be willing adults. Renewed scrutiny, prompted by a citizen who made "strange statements" to Bonfoey, revealed that illegal surgeries were taking place, the prosecutor said. Detectives who searched the home Wednesday found medical supplies that included scalpels, sutures, bandages, anesthetic and artificial replacement testicles, sheriff's officials said. Also seized were videotaping equipment, and video recordings of the surgeries, sheriff's officials said. Photos and videos made at the "dungeon" were apparently featured on a locally produced sadomasochistic Web site, officials said. "This right here beats anything I have ever seen," Sheriff Tom Alexander told the Asheville Citizen-Times, which reported that victims may have come from as far away as South America. Each man faces 10 felony counts _ five each of castration without malice and conspiracy to commit castration without malice _ as well as eight misdemeanor counts of performing medical acts without a license. Each felony carries a maximum three years and three months in prison, Bonfoey said. "Assuming that the victims consented to this _ and we don't know that for sure yet _ that doesn't make it a defense," Bonfoey said. "We can't have people who are not medical doctors lopping off limbs and other body parts." Quote
Off_White Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks for not posting a link to the surgery videos. I still think the German Cannibal story tops this one... Quote
archenemy Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Why would you care if someone gets their nuts cut off or replaced? That affects your openmindedness? How is this any different from breast implants? Quote
catbirdseat Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Why would you care if someone gets their nuts cut off or replaced? That affects your openmindedness? How is this any different from breast implants? It's really quite simple. We have a system for licensing doctors. It exists for a very good reason. These people are not doctors and are not licensed.

olyclimber Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Our great country was founded on the principal of freedom. And now people want you to have a medical degree just to mutilate your own genitals??? That just seems wrong! Quote
archenemy Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Yeah, and people shouldn't need a degree to build stuff either. Quote

EWolfe Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) I wonder what percentage of the women adopt the same sexist attitudes? If any? Edited April 3, 2006 by MisterE Quote
G-spotter Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Would you undergo sex change to gain unlimited harem access? Quote
catbirdseat Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Speaking of a little nip and tuck. So in India and China, they abort females and in Saudi Arabia they change sexes. Sooner or later, females will be in such short supply that perhaps they will be appreciated. Quote
G-spotter Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Yeah but you started climbing in the Whillans harness era didnt you, old man? Quote

Sooner or later, females will be in such short supply that perhaps they will be appreciated. There is another Rueters article that talks about this. Women are in such short supply, that now dowrys are paid anymore and the father of the family has more power b/c he has a daughter to trade. I don't think this constitues being appreciated--but they gain a wee bit more value when unmarried. Quote
