Should Elizabeth Edwards castrate John Edwards

Question

Former Senator John Edwards, an ambulance chaser and apprently a womanizer, was just recently busted for cheating on his wife Elizabeth and allegedly impregnating another woman. John Edwards said that he cheated on Elizabeth while her cancer was in remission as though that was any better than cheating on her while she was sicker than that.

Answer 1

ha ha ha. sorry, but no.

Answer 2

Cancer remission?  That's sad, I didn't read the whole thing.

Answer 3

No. They should try to work it out if possible. though if she left, who could blame her.

Answer 4

no, that would not really be an eye for an eye.  ok, dont take this the wrong way....but there are two sides to every story.  Look, men want s*x! period! if men dont get what they want at home they go elsewhere! now, Im not saying hes not a complete loser to have some compassion for a dying wife that cant perform....trust me we agree that hes a loser!!!! BUT in many cases its a combination of a bad relationship that leads men to cheat. Ok, well there are some men that just are cheaters.  but Ive had some GF's that after some time lost all drive....sometimes I wanted to cheat! Its funny, when my wonderful GF is just all about my sexual needs i forget others exist! when shes not....my eye wonders! This is just how men are!  

Answer 5

I think out off respect to a dying woman we should all mind our own business on this one. If they want to work it out or not that's them.  

Answer 6

No.

Modern law is there to prevent medieval trash from happening.

Answer 7

No, not at all.

But she *should* dismiss him out of her life and live the rest of her days in as much peace as possible.

(Or was this all just a ploy to get more attention and fame, since obviously we've all forgotten about J.Edwards since Obama came around?)

Answer 8

Ya, we don't need any more edwards around. He's not a real man anyways, why should he need a p***s =)  

Answer 9

No, castration is cruel and unusual punishment.  Marital infidelity is immoral but not illegal.  When there is such a situation as existed b/wn Sen. Edwards & his egregiously ill wife, the causal factor for infidelity can be quite complex, and not gender-specific.  Often one partner is terribly overwhelmed with the suffering of her/his partner and resorts to untoward behaviour; whether self-destructive, e.g. illicit drug or alcohol use, or as in this case marital infidelity.  It's really difficult to climb inside one's head and determine whether this was a "conscious," well though-out decision or whether he just simply flipped out and engaged in inappropriate behaviour.

Also, one has to consider that what a politician says to "defend" his impropriety should be taken with a grain of salt.  He's trying his best to do damage control.  We don't have access to Ms. Edwards' medical records to confirm whether she was, indeed, in remission and frankly it doesn't matter as marital infidelity should be managed between a couple and secular law has no business intervening in this sort of thing.  I find it appalling, but then I'd have to walk a mile in his shoes before I just another human being.  I don't go by what the media declares, and certainly not by rhetoric offered by a politician.

Something like this ought to be left to the couple to work out.  Castration serves no good in such cases.

It's upsetting that people have such a weak understanding of anatomy and surgical technique that some authors confound castration with resection of the p***s.  The two are entirely different procedures, and frankly the only medical indication for penile resection are in exceedingly rare cases of penile carinoma.

Answer 10

his sexual arrangements are his own business, his character is shown through and its up to him and his family to reconcile this. I personally don't care whats going on in his family so why should anyone else?
