But you don't understand, do you? It's an illness... these people are sick and acting on compulsions that are beyond their control. I prefer to think of it rationally rather than indulge in emotion when we're dealing with such a taboo subject.

Look, maybe they'll never be cured, but surely we shouldn't be condoning the torture or death of another human being just because they're beyond help? They were burning people at the stake a few centuries ago for problems that we've found cures for or learned more about through science and analysis.
