A man was sentenced Monday to up to four years in prison for performing a castration in his kitchen last year.

Suo-Shan Wang, 29, was arrested in June after a man began hemorrhaging outside his home following a voluntary castration. Authorities say after the procedure, the men shared a slice of pie at the same table on which the castration was performed.

Wang was convicted on April 4 of practicing medicine without a license, a felony. He was given a sentence of 14 months to four years.

In handing down the sentence, Circuit Court Judge Fred Mester stressed that such acts "will not be tolerated in this society."

Wang told the court Monday that he was trying to help people who were unable to get similar services elsewhere, but that he regretted his actions.

The man who underwent the castration did so because he wanted to curb his sex drive because he had a sexually transmitted disease, prosecutors have said.

Wang's attorney argued that the defendant never claimed to be a doctor and did not charge for the surgery.

They had originally arrested the other guy, but they soon found that he was just a bag man.

I dont know what I find more strange, the fact that someone ALLOWED themselves to be CASTRATED on a KITCHEN TABLE...OR that he sat down and had pie at the SAME Kitchen Table with the guy that just hacked his nuts off...

Wang's attorney argued that the defendant never claimed to be a doctor and did not charge for the surgery.

"Castration" and "do-it-yourself" were never meant to go together. Especially if the word "trailer" is also involved.

Ech. That's gonna leave a mark.

He head no personality.

What does your state medical board have against you serving your patient pie?

[Robe]

Those guys are a couple of nuts !!!(shy)

[Abynormal]

>>then this act would be legal<<

Unless he gets a hung jury :-)

[freedomlover]

I wonder if that pie had any nuts in it.

[Old Professer]

Shoulda' used rubber bands.

Where did this take place? Florida?

He should present alternative life-style defense. It has sometimes worked for S&M (even one of the inspectors to Iraq was a S&M dungeon master of something like it).

That brings up an interesting point- If it had been castration using rubberbands, would it still be illegal? (obviously less bloody) Would we then need a license to buy and use rubberbands??

Although castration among friends is a bit weird... :O
