At a glance an incredibly obvious statement...

Again from BBC News: 'Paedophiles' brains 'different''

This just in; They're sexual appetites are also unhealthy! Doesn't this seem a fairly obvious statement? Of course I've always been a strong nature proponent, I suppose if you thought teletubbies could turn you gay this might be a more startling revelation. Some excerts with comments...

A Yale University team found activity in parts of paedophiles' brains were lower than in other volunteers when shown adult, erotic material. Matt, careful walking around campus at night.

A forensic psychologist from the UK said drug treatments for paedophilia might be possible. Hold on a second here guys, my paedophilia's acting up again. Alright, time to coach some little league. Um, is this really something we want to be treating? I suppose it is but imagine how embarrassing it would be to fill that prescription, I would think the chance of a lapse would be huge. Of course I have no suggestion for a better solution.

In a few cases, patients with a brain tumour in a particular part of the brain have developed such feelings, only for them to go away when the tumour was removed. Wow, talk about a being delt a shitty hand. Well, it looks like you have a brain tumer, Mr. Stevens, we're going to need to remove that in a highly invasive surgery. In the meantime try not fuck any kids.

And then there's this... "Our results may thus be seen as the first step towards establishing a neurobiology of paedophilia which ultimately may contribute to the development of new and effective means of therapies for this debilitating disorder." Listen, arthritis is a debilitating disorder. Raping children is a shade or two more troubling.
