I for one believe curing homosexuality can't be done, but recent news stories report that there are clinics that try, and claim they can. In the report a psychologist indicated that it is not really possible to change because sexual preference is built into the individual. I believe this to be true but the psychologist's comments raises a question in my mind. Pedophilia is built into the individual just like homosexuality but they are supposedly cured and released back into society all the time and in many cases prey again. If homosexuality can't be cured, neither can pedophilia and pedophiles should be locked away for ever.
An additional note regarding insanity pleas to avoid prison. The only insanity plea I find legitimate is a crime committed in the heat of passion such as finding someone raping your daughter and killing him. That rage could make a person temporarily insane. The man who shot Rep. Gabrielle Gifford should not be allowed to refuse medication in order to avoid prosecution. Did he refuse is medication before the crime occurred? If he did refuse, he should have been immediately confined to a mental institution! All those poor people would be alive and uninjured. I know it's expensive to confine someone but how many people have to die before the realization that these people can't be allowed roam free in our society.
