The Thai Senate on Monday approved a bill that would allow recidivist sex offenders to choose chemical castration in exchange for a reduction in their prison terms.

The bill, which the House of Representatives first passed in February, was approved by the Senate with two abstentions, but it has not yet been enacted.
