That’s a lot of money to spend on treatment for depravity masquerading as a pseudo-illness, when there are so many actual real diseases needing research/treatmTie a millstone to them and cast them into the sea.

500 years ago we burnt people at the stake thinking they were demons and goblins when all they were was mentally ill.

Again people who diddle with young kids should be thrown in jail for a very long time..but if there is out of whack brain chemical causing these perversions then by all means let's try to find a cure.

Nice sentiment ... if resources available for research are infinite.

But they’re not.

If you don’t like millstones, I’ll settle for ropes or bullets.

This is no "brain chemical" problem. This is SIN, pure and simple.

When they cease all mental function due to .357 induced lobotomy - no more “out of whack brain chemical”s.

If you could prove to me that an arsonist was born with the desire to set fires - I still wouldn't want them free to roam the streets; I would want them locked up for their crimes.

We are all born with certain inborn inclinations; as just one example - men are much more likely to commit violent crimes. Some people are born without a discernible conscience (sociopaths). They should still pay for their crimes. Nothing would embolden a sociopath more than being told that because ‘they cannot help it’ they face reduced or no punishment.

They no more want to be "cured" than do homosexuals.

HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.
