Putting them away for the good of society, to keep them from harming anyone again, seems the only thing we can do until we gain the technology to reprogram a personality.
That's my point exactly. I truly do not believe we are capable of rehabilitating someone like that. Robbing, being in gangs, drugs, all that can be but I don't think anything sexual or murder related can be. I see it as being gay/transgender. It is built into who they are. The difference though is that gay and transgender doesn't hurt anyone so it shouldn't matter any more than being born with blue eyes. Being built to like hurting someone or something (usually the tell tale sign is hurting animals for fun as a child but not always) isn't acceptable so what do we do with them? Do we just let them rot in prison? (using our tax dollars, getting three meals a day, and a roof over their head) Do we send them away? There doesn't seem to be a right answer.
