But if it is a genetically over-determined impulse, an uncontrollable urge nestled in our DNA, then punishing pedophiles must be morally wrong.

IF is a pretty big word. Where in the DNA did they find this?

Yeah, well alcoholism is considered to be a sickness with an equal claim to any possible genetic predisposition. As a society we expect alcoholics to get recovery, and I don't believe anyone believes it's immoral to punish them for drunk driving or to expect them not to show up at work sober!
