Child porn (even if CG) is TOTALLY unacceptable!

"If you supply a person with suggestions that it is ok to think of children in a sexual manner (though why anyone would want to is totally beyond me) then you will ultimately see a rise in the real thing."
But we're not doing that.
Assume that child pornography was legal and available at your local adult bookstore. Would you buy any? I doubt it, most of us wouldn't. Only those rare people for whom it's a turn-on would. So what effect would it have on them? Would viewing the pornography (presumably while engaging in self-gratification) satisfy their urges or stimulate them into kid-nabbing? I don't think you can definitively say one way or the other. Playing Doom, D&D, and wargames never spurred me to violence, for example.
Actually, I probably have seen a comic strip or two that would qualify as child porn in books about underground comic strips. Again, this in no way filled me with the desire to have sex with children.
-- Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a real useful invention.
I think the Slashdot community can do better!

We've got BMRT and PoV-Ray, and probably far more computing power (when combined) than any studio. It should be possible to produce far more realistic people than any proprietary, closed environment could achieve.
