Human Nature

My question asks to all of you what your opinion is on the basis of human nature. We are all aware serial killers and child molesters (just to name two types of "unnatural" categories of humans) exist, and that there are many other types of "bad" people who enjoy doing certain things which may be viewed by the society as "evil," "horrible," and "unnatural." Not to say molesting a child isn't, but who's to say that they are such an evil person for doing such a thing? For some reason these people were born with an irresistible desire to do such a thing, it is programmed into them from birth and they have always been destined to do such a thing. I'm not talking about the people who were molested as children themselves who in turn become child molesters themselves because of the events which took place in their own childhood. Those people at least have reasons as to why they turned into something so unusual. I'm talking about ordinary people who, for no apparent reason at all, decide to commit such acts purely for their own entertainment and pleasure. Here's my final question. Though we should stop these people from committing these acts of violence to others, who's to say they are evil for simply doing something that gives them their pleasure in life? Isn't telling a serial killer who's sole pleasure in life is to kill people, to stop killing people the same thing as telling someone who's sole pleasure in life is skydiving that they can't skydive anymore, because other people have a problem with it? What right do we have to keep one from his/her only pleasure in life, and to limit them to a life of utter unhappiness and unfulfillment, assuming that, whether it is a serial killer or child molester, or some other "evil" thing, the person can only truly be happy in life by doing the thing they love most, because that's just they way their brain works.
