Pedophiles are sexually attracted to children. You can't "unlearn" a sexual compulsion like that. It isn't like someone making a bad choice and boosting a car, or killing your wife in a fit of rage because she is sleeping around.
Throw in the fact that most of them know exactly what they are doing, that they elaborately plan their abuse ahead of time, that they are preying on the most defenseless members of society, and that their victims will frequently be severely scarred for the rest of their lives...
...well it's just better to sometimes put down a sick animal, than it is to allow them to continue to limp along.
I have zero tolerance for child abusers, and for you to suggest that the state executing them is somehow as bad as their crimes - give your head a shake buddy.
It isn't even close.

Give YOUR head a shake buddy. You are comparing humans to animals.
You have no idea. Most pedophilies are they way they are because someone else did it to them when they were very young. They are hardwired because some freak show molested them when they were young and now you want to give them a death sentence because they were a victim in the past....unbelievable. Do you have any concept of forensic psychology? Most ****ed up people in this world are the way they are because of tramatic childhood experiences. They did not choose for those things to happen to them. Like you said, they are the way they are....they cannot help it. This doesn't mean that they cannot choose to act on their impulses, they DO have that choice and if they violate someone they need to be removed from society...forever.
But don't be so quick to say someone deserves death. How would you feel if some freak molested you as a small child and screwed you mental for life? Do you think you should be put down like a sick animal or atleast be allowed to live without risk of hurting others? Who knows, someday they may beable to cure this.
I have zero tolerance for sexual predators aswell, that doesnt mean they deserve a death sentence. Where do you draw the line???? Does some guy deserve death because he took one picture of a naked child?
Sad....really really sad.
