I'm not suggesting I know what's best but I'd wonder if a mental
hospital is the best place for someone who, in theory, can't be
cured since it's part of who they are. This started off with talk
of dangerous sexual preferrences so.. Trying to 'cure' a Pedohpile
is a bit like trying to 'cure' someone of being Gay. They are what
they are and maybe can fake they are now the way you want them to
be (to get out) but you haven't really changed them.

Um.. that wasn't intended as a shot against Gay people..
I just used that because there's a history there of some trying
to 'cure'a person of being Gay..
