생명의료윤리 관점에서 소아기호증 상습성폭력범에 대한 성충동 약물치료의 정당성 논의 -『 성폭력범죄자의 성충동 약물치료에 관한 법률』주요 쟁점

Recently, a law on drug treatment for sex drive against some sexual deviants was enacted. However, the enforcement conditions of this law still has legal controversies in relation to the target, treatment period, and approval by that person. Thus, this law needs revisions. First of all, it should be restricted to pedophilia who can see results of the treatment, and the treatment period should be edited to “until full recovery.” By doing this, sex drive drug treatment will obtain more persuasive force as a security measure. However, there is some limitations in justification by law. Thus, I aim at revealing the feasibility of the execution of sex drive drug treatment based on wholesome paternalism and recovery of human dignity as a forced treatment from a bio-ethical perspective.
