Should this anti-rape device be banned by the South African government?

Furious South African women have called for a controversial new anti-rape device, dubbed a 'rat trap', to be banned by the Government. The tampon-like device, invented by a woman, supposedly protects women from rapists by cutting into a man's penis. It has sparked an impassioned debate over the high number of rapes committed each day in the country and the authorities' apparent failure to tackle the issue. Activists are outraged and want to stop it going on sale alongside tampons in chemists and supermarkets next month. The device, which Sonette Ehlers, its inventor, has patented, is worn like a tampon but is hollow. In the event of a rape, she said that it would fold around the rapist's penis and attach itself with microscopic hooks. It is impossible to remove the clamped device without medical intervention.
