Of course, I'm just concerned about other things that we may think of as wrong now and think will always be considered wrong and kill the perps, but later find out that it isn't wrong, or isn't as wrong as we once thought.

What if in the future we find that pedophilia is caused by a viral infection in the brain? Or something else that becomes easily cured? That's why I don't support the idea of killing them all. Jail for life, fine. Treatment that removes all sex drive? Gut feeling is it would be a consent thing (many probably would), but sure. Just an example, hypothetical situations can be useful in testing the boundaries and limitations of things.
