In short, while you might specifically reduce the number of rapes being carried out (presuming you're talking about child molestors, not paedophiles generally) I doubt it's going to make many productive members of society.

The death penalty is the state effectively saying to the offender "You are beyond redemption" If the offender is going to continously offend and wreak more young lives. Are they fit to ever have children of their own?
When you are saying It isnt going to make more productive members of society, I would beg to differ. Child abuse does wreak young peoples lives and some dont ever recover from it, as a result reduce their productiveness if you want to look at it from a clinical perspective. If this would reduce this vile crime (tougher penalty).
Then why shouldnt it be? at what point does an innocent child have to keep suffering when more can be done?
What is so taboo about it when the death penalty is used in parts of the world?
This would be a punishment reserved for the "beyond redemption"
