Abstract

Ülkemizde artan cinsel suçlar ve özellikle çocuk
istismarı vakaları bu suçları işleyenlere karşı kimyasal kastrasyon yönteminin
uygulanmasını gündeme getirmiştir. Gelişmiş ülkeler dâhil dünyanın pek çok
ülkesinde kabul gören bu uygulama konusunda ruh sağlığı çalışanları arasında
büyük bir tartışma süregitmektedir. Bu uygulamaya destekleyen faydacılık ekolü
bu tür suçların tekrar işlenmelerinin önlenmeleri, kapasite üstü doluluk
oranlarında faaliyet gösteren cezaevleri maliyetlerinin düşürülmeleri ve
kamuoyunda bu korkunç suçları işleyenlere hak ettikleri cezaların verildiği
imajının yaratılması gibi gerekçelere dayanmaktadır. Ancak kimyasal kastrasyon ismi verilen uygulama aslında cerrahi bir müdahale
içermediğinden kastrasyon değildir. Bu uygulama aslında kimyasal kullanımıyla
insan vücudundaki testosteron düzeyini düşürmeyi hedefleyen bir hormon
tedavisidir. Bu uygulama tedavi alanına girdiğinde ise sadece hastalık kabul
edilen nedenlerle işlenen suçlarda geçerli olması ve etik koşulları yerine
getirmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada cinsel suçlular ve çocuk istismarcılarına
bazı ülkelerde hâlihazırda uygulanan ve ülkemizde uygulanması tartışılan
kimyasal kastrasyon yöntemi mesleki etik çerçevede analiz edilmektedir.
