Mirjam Heine

Medical Student

One to two percent of the main male population is considered as pedophiles. This means worldwide more than 57 million people. Therefore, pedophilia is not an irrelevant phenomenon we can ignore. It is unrelated to class status and educational level. The medical student Mirjam Heine explains how an appropriate approach to the unchangeable sexual orientation pedophilia might look like. She is mainly guided by the works of Prof Dr. Dr. Beier, the head of the institute for sexology and sexual medicine at the University Hospital Berlin and the prevention network “Kein Täter Werden” (meaning “don’t offend”). Hence, she also believes that no one is responsible for their sexual orientation, for their feelings, but that everyone is responsible for acting upon this sexual orientation. She also inquires how all of us can gain if we distinguish clearly between our feelings and our actions. Since pedophiles can’t change their sexual desires, they must learn to control them to not act upon them.

The Cradle to Cradle school of thought is characterized by a positive conception of mankind with a positive footprint: as beneficial organisms humans are a part of the environment. Old patterns of thinking are abandoned, while new paths towards intelligent abundance are established. Cradle to Cradle is about innovation, quality and beauty. The Cradle to Cradle design concept spells out three underlying principles, all of which build on the inherent intelligence of natural systems: “Waste equals food”, “use solar income” and “Celebrate diversity”. The Cradle to Cradle design concept defines usage scenarios while selected healthy materials of comprehensive quality circulate in biological and technical cycles.
