#1 Nature gets it wrong? Would the science then follow that somewhere near an equal number of castrations should be performed ?

#2 Castrations? Sure, start with the doctors.

#3 Should've "fixed" the parents in their youth.

#4 I'd say that one day most people would look back on this as something akin to the castrati of the middle ages, but heck, most sane people look at it this way now.

#5 It is my understanding that the castrati of that time did it to improve their career prospects by preserving the beautiful boy soprano singing voice at a time when those without salable skills went hungry. As the writer says, the current fad is strongly akin to anorexia, an anxiety disorder.

One of my fosterlings suffered from anorexia, bulimia, cutting, and suicidal ideation as a teen. But with the help of her parents we got her through it, and a decade later she is now fine.

#6 A musical nipper, unhappily,
Amazed all the people at chapel.
He left but two marbles
They raised, of his yarbles,
To honor poor Carlo, in Napoli.

#7 Always (mildly) shocked at how late that went on (Handel's time?). Reminds me of the dude (pretty high-status, IIRC) who managed to get his tongue cut out for blasphemy in roughly the same timeframe.
