Actually, that's a very good question. Arguably, you cannot create kiddie porn without harming the kiddies -- that's the legal basis for banning the porn. There's been a whole new can o' worms opened with the concept of "virtual" kiddies -- no real person is being hurt. I still haven't made up my mind on this one.
Yes, pedophiles harm children. Yes, they usually can't be rehabilitated. But unless we want to start giving everyone psych/genetic testing and eliminating all the "unfits", we have to draw the line somewhere. Do the person's actions infringe upon the rights of others? (Where's Radar when I need him?)
