Castration, yes. Death no.
Remember, this is for 'rape of a child'. Sex with a young kid is rape nomatter what. But what happens if someone has consenting sex with a 17 yr old and the bitch turns the tables and claims rape. And for whatever reason, it gets upheld. This kind of situation has happened all over the world for consenting adults. Lots of cases where the guy is cleared after years in prison.
Death for rape was thrown out in the supreme court not so long ago for this reason. So why any different for minors? Just castrate all rapists and be done with it.
Castrate all pedos and put them on a lifetime regime of estrogen.
Many other ways to punish these kinds of crimes imo

The difference is a child, we will say 11 years old, is still developing mentally and physically while a 17-year-old is more mentally developed. A 17-year-old can defend themselves, somewhat, and is more likely to mentally recover than an 11-year-old.
