Brain biology may determine whether a person is a pedophile, but does it determine whether that person chooses to act on those impulses?

If you're a neuroscientist, one of your heroes is almost certainly the 2nd century Roman physician Galen.

Galen's experience as team physician for the gladiators led him to conclude otherwise.
