While we like to think of ourselves as a loving, caring race with a deep concern for our fellows, the reality is harshly different.
We do things that are of benefit to society in general, even though they may cause some inconvenience to ourselves, primarily to avoid the much greater inconvenenience of a fine, a jail sentence or perhaps worse.
Certainly, nobody in their right mind is going to volunteer for castration if the consequence of not doing so is nothing.
Therefore, in this case, the incentive may be to avoid a mandatory death sentence.
