Difficult question. Victims of pedophilia are often scarred for life and some end up being pedophiles themselves. and, using Urizen's own logic, murder does not beget more murderers, as the victims are not alive.
But from a purely legal standpoint, one count of child molestation can't get you life in prison or the death penalty, but one count of murder can.
Murderers are worse

Yes, but then the child has to live with that on their mind, every day of their life.
They still have a life. Stop being ridiculous. Murder is the most strongly punished crime for a reason.
Not even to mention the fact that paedophiles aren't necessarily criminals.

Revenge killings come to mind. In any case that's not the most fruitful path to follow regarding this issue. Lots of crimes lead to a recurring pattern- that doesn't make them worse than more serious crimes.
Hmm true, murderer implies someone who has committed murder, while pedophile does not necessarily imply someone who has committed child molestation.
A more accurate thread title would have been child molesters or murderers.
Regardless murder is considered by human society to be the most grievous of crimes.
Paedophiles-The touched one has to be scarred mentally, maybe even physically for life, knowing that they have been penetrated and disgraced by another human being.
Murderer-Killed another human being, they don't have to suffer as much, although they do suffer alot.
I believe none is worse than the other, as both have there bad points and both have there points worse than the other.

when you murder, you erase everything they have ever done, and all that they will do. a pedophile victim can have counseling and live a halfway normal life.
Yes, but still have to live a life of knowing it. Unless they get amnesia.
As i said, none is worse. Crime is Crime.

That's the advantage of being murdered you don't have to live with it for the rest of your life.
Now if it were to happen to me, being raped as a child or killed I would prefer to be killed, that said however murder should be punished harder and is worse

i know people who were raped as a child. they live normal lives and can talk about it now.
Yeah I have no doubts about that, still if I had to choose which one would happen I'd take dying, it's the easier way out... And probably less painful and quicker too, at least for me.
