To steal your quote and change it a bit:

The tendancy to be a pedophile is probably biological.

Does not mean being a pedophile is not bad.

Also it does not mean one cannot overcome a predisposition.

"The tendancy to be a pedophile is probably biological.

A client of mine, that is a Psychiatrist, said she believes that condition yields very high recidivism.

Probability of successful "treatment" is very low.

Solution for society, according to her: Throw the key away, at the first hint of a 2nd offense.

Well s)aid. All behaviors, it can be fairly argued, are part of the "human condition" and therefore biologically programmed, to a certain extent. Murder, rape and arson are all behaviors that humans have exhibited since man has existed. And no, I am not equating homosexuality with any of these behaviors, only making the same point (although obviously not as eloquently and succinctly) as Right Wing Assault.
My response to the genetic homosexuality argument is "so what"? Others say it better, but no sense not repeating it.
