I don't like calling them by the MAPs acronym. I prefer to call them 'fucking revoluting'.

How do you know if a pedo is non-offending though? You don't. If we take a hypothetical pedo that is non-offending (they don't even jerk it to CP), then you're still talking about a person that fantasizes about fucking children. How many years (or decades) of sexual repression will it take until that person finally gives in and acts on those urges?
Imagine a land mine left over from some old war. You know it's there. You know it's potentially very dangerous. If you step on it, it might blow up, it might not. You can't know for sure. So what do you do? You either sequester it from everybody by making the area a no-go zone, or you send in someone to disarm it.
You lock 'em em up, or you cut their balls off and send em to a psych. What you don't do is nothing - You don't let things be. It's too dangerous.

Combining therapy with castration is a good start, but I don't think that would allow them to be accepted into society. I get it, 'it's not their fault', that's just the way they are. They are what they are though. A lion is a lion (and lions are dangerous). Castrated people have still committed acts of sexual abuse against children. It's not a magic pill.
When constructing personal identity, our sexual preferences are a pretty core component of that. If we did have a magic pill, and it had the ability to change sexual preferences, we'd be changing into entirely different people. In the case of pedos, you'd be turning a lion into a housecat. If such a pill existed, then I would think these former pedos (these cuddly little pussycats) would be accepted into society - Though I bet it'd take a long time for the stigma to wear off (and I bet some people would never overcome that stigma and still be disgusted/fearful of them).
In conclusion - All pedos are fucked. Only way to 'un-fuck' a pedo is completely 'un-pedo' them.
