As for a low amount of sex offenders being re-convicted...well...I would think thats more because they are more careful not to slip up again and get caught than anything else. Like shoplifters, get caught once, up your sneakyness next time. But I guess this part depends on if you believe rehabilitation works...I do not. As I think something is just wired up wrong in paedophiles and nothing will change that.

It's more the principle though, and asking the question of "what constitutes a suitable parent" and how you can really decide this and be confident enough to start a program of forced sterilisation based on it, especially if you're using blanket judgements to create this criteria which are insufficient because they don't take into account individual differences in cases. I don't think they're trying to say the two are at all equal and I'm certainly not saying that
