"Sick pedophiles chose to be the way they are."

Pedophilia is an "incurable" sexual orientation just like any other. Present classifications can do nothing to alter this timeless fact. See the research topic, A "cure" for pedophilia?.

This argument also relies on faulty thinking on the issue of free will. Here is a rather eccentric teenage boy saying the right things about free will.

The comments of Fred Berlin, a man who has for many years attempted to reform pedophiles, are quite telling:

"It may be no easier for a person with pedophilia to change his or her sexual orientation than it is for a homosexual or heterosexual individual to do so." [1]
