I guess the fact that he chopped off his own marbles probably took precedence.

Of course it's not reasonable! He's in jail so that he can't have sex anymore (unless he likes being somebody's). From my understanding, sex offenders of all types are not treated very well in jail. Don't give him the emotional satisfaction of mutilating himself and we, as a society, certain shouldn't stoop to the level of letting him do it.
Almost all sex offenders have some kind of personality or social disorder. Their imbalance is beyond rehabilitation for the most part, as was suggested. I don't know what should be done... special jails? Hard labor? I don't know. I just don't think we have the authority to decide what body parts should get cutoff for certain crimes... maybe we can start lopping off hands of shoplifters in Wal-Mart.
