He was born in 1858 and is considered to be the last castrato ever.

I’ve heard that before. It’s crazy. Hard to believe that was a thing, but it was. The castrati were superstars in their day. But what a sacrifice.

@Harmonium1923 most of them weren't, actually. Only a select few actually made it big. Truly sad to think of how much they suffered for no reason after such a big sacrifice in the hopes of a better life.

@SW-User True. I should have said the best ones were superstars.

@Harmonium1923 That's more accurate, yes.

I have heard it and about him...Very unusual practice.

I wouldn't say forever. Society is regressing quickly, so castration may very well become acceptable practice again, even within our lifetime.

@NerdyPotato for now he is the last one. If I could predict the future I would have adjusted my statement accordingly.

@NerdyPotato I wouldn't mind if a certain individual and their most rabid followers underwent something like that.
