2. La castración tiene como fin:

Explanation

La castración tiene como fin evitar el cambio de voz. La castración es un procedimiento que implica la remoción o amputación del aparato reproductor, y en el caso de los hombres, esto incluye los testículos. Al eliminar los testículos, se reduce la producción de hormonas sexuales masculinas, como la testosterona, lo que puede afectar el desarrollo de las características sexuales secundarias, como el cambio de voz. Por lo tanto, la castración puede prevenir o evitar el cambio de voz que normalmente ocurre durante la pubertad en los hombres.
