Juan Carlos Delgado's Ice and Farineli the "castroti"

Recently Juan Carlos Delgado set up a exhibit in Columbia were he froze bronze sculptures over a period of weeks. He's creativity is what sets him apart from other artists that I have seen. Overall I really liked where his imagination took him with this piece. Farineli was a 18th century opera singer who was renowned as the best "castroti" in the world. He was called a "castroti" because he was castrated as a prepubescent boy in order to make sure that his beautiful voice would not change. This led to him getting a disease that is found in post-menopausal women. I understand why they would do this but I feel that the act of castration is barbaric and its not right to take a mans "junk" away from them.
