Is it something they chose though? If it isn't something they chose, how is killing them for something they didn't choose an action of an enlightened society?

Euthanizing individuals just because we currently lack the ability to fix them (or at least make it so they can't harm society) seems like a slippery slope to me. Why draw the line at pedophiles?

Someone who abuses a child is more like a rapist, it's an act of violence. Rapists should go too, they've crossed a line that cannot be uncrossed.
