"A difference in average height is a trait found in other illnesses with biological links...This study adds to previous research from this team that found pedophiles have lower IQs, are three times more likely to be left-handed, failed school grades significantly more frequently, and suffered more head injuries as children."

So which is it, height, lower IQs, left-handed, propensity to fail in school several times or to have had several head injuries as children?

"The study found that pedophilic males were shorter on average than males without a sexual attraction to children." So does this CAMH study sully ALL males who are below the average height of the country they are in today? Does this make all Japanese more prone to pedophilia because they are shorter than Danes?

And this statement is ludicrous after the findings that are stated: "“This research does not mean that pedophiles are not criminally responsible for their behavior,” said Dr. James Cantor, CAMH Psychologist and lead researcher on the study, “but the discovery of biological markers for pedophilia has important implications for future study and possibly treatment.”" Well, if biology produces pedophilic tendencies then it shouldn't make the pedos responsible. After all, no matter how reprehensible we may find the aberrant behaviour, it's in their genes. I think it's like saying that if you are born gay you should not instinctively desire a homosexual relationship.
