Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said his country should consider voluntary "chemical castration" as a punishment for child sex offenders.
Mr Medvedev said convicted paedophiles should be punished as harshly as possible, including by having injections to reduce their sex drive.
Russia's influential Investigative Committee has already drawn up a draft law allowing for such a procedure.
But it is the first time the Kremlin has indicated its backing.
The process known as chemical castration generally involves injections that reduce levels of testosterone, thereby lowering sex drive. It is not a permanent procedure.
'Voluntary basis'
Mr Medvedev was quoted as saying at a government meeting that measures "including injections that block hormonal activity" should be considered for child molesters.
"The punishment should be as strict as possible," the Russian president said.
"Considering the frightening crimes committed, I think our duty is to at least discuss this issue."
He added that the injections would "probably be possible only on a voluntary basis".
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says Mr Medvedev's suggestion received widespread support, though some Russian politicians have suggested making chemical castration mandatory.
More than 9,500 sex crimes were committed against minors last year, according to Russia's top investigator, Alexander Bastrykin.

Mother's Day! Home Improvement Tools as Gifts to Your Mom
Mother's Day mainly falls on the second Monday of May. For 2011, it falls on May 8th. It is this Sunday. I remember a poem I once read explaining "Mother" in a perfect way. Following is the poem.I Love You Mom
-By Howard Johnson
M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Yes, it is our Mother who gives us life and help us get through all the difficulties in the course of life. And now, we are already grownups. Some even become their childrens' mother. How would we think our Mother in this big day?
Yes, our Mon does not care too much about what the gift is, how much it costs. A gift is only a way to show her our love. We are remembering her in our heart as always.

Internet Chaos in April 2011
The Internet does really bring us great benefits. We can find almost everything on the Internet: playing games, reading news, making money... Almost everything that you can think. The Internet is really a good place for us to explore. However, this paradise place seems to be not that peaceful but a lit chaos these days. Just looking at the following two Internet events in April 2011. The facts state themselves.
News No.1. South Korea raids Google over illegal mobile data collection
(Source: IT News) Police in South Korea said they had raided Google's Korea head office in Seoul on Tuesday on suspicion that the subsidiary of the search engine company had illegally collected location data from application subscribers.
News No.2. Sony Online Entertainment Hacked, 12,700 Credit Cards Stolen
(IT News) Not quite out of the frying pan, but into the fire anyway: Sony just acknowledged another network breach related to the first one.
These kinds of events are making netizens worry about their information security online. Some of them may be afraid to use Internet as such big damage has happened.
As a netizen, the only thing we may be able to protect ourselves may be to set up different account information for different Internet services. And, if unneccessory, do not by any chance to post your information online.
