" Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, Walter and colleagues report that pedophilic patients showed reduced activation of the hypothalamus, a brain region involved in regulating physiologic arousal and hormone release, as compared to healthy individuals when they were viewing sexually arousing pictures of adults. Deficits of activation in the frontal cortex were associated with the extent of pedophilic behavior. In other words, when shown erotic pictures of adults, the brains of the pedophilic patients had reduced reactions in the pleasure center of the brain, indicating an altered sexual interest."

Big news, scientists have discovered that pedophiles aren"t very sexually attracted to adults. Next month they are going to discover that they are attracted to children. Stay tuned for this breaking news.

I have a few suggestions for other test to perform on paedophiles:
  • see how they react fo falling off high buildings
  • Test their reactions to being driven ove by various vehicles. Start with bicycles and work up to tanks
  • teir reaction to high voltage or (then and) high current electricity
  • poisonous snakes and spiders
  • human/shark interaction
