It depends how you look at it regarding whether or not you should oppose it. Firstly if you see it as a punishment or revenge, an eye for an eye perspective then obviously you'll probably not agree with it. But it isn't really as much a punishment as it is a way to protect other members of the public, it's actually quite comparable to prison in that respect, is that not taking away people's drives, people's lives and forcing an unwanted situation upon someone, pretty much walking all over their human rights? We are keeping them in prison to rehabilitate them, and keep them away from the members of the public they may cause harm to. Now if this was an anti murder type injection that took any kind of hatred and ability/want to kill or harm others then I'm sure everyone would all be for it, but an injection to lower the sex drive being given to pedophiles is a big no no? Is it really that much different to some situations and drugs we have today? We have people who suffer from plenty of mental health issues like schizophrenics or some rather crazy psychotic people who can be extreme dangers to the public and because of which are administered drugs that really calm them down and relax them, ones that help prevent these schizophrenic tendencies, and they have side effects too like making them drowsy or what not, yet you don't see people even batting an eye lid at such treatments. For me this is a perfectly justifiable precautionary measure if put in place for serious and repeat offenders IMO.
