Suppose you or a loved one was sick or injured and needed an ambulance, they show up, treat you or them on scene, then transport them to the hospital. You find that the EMT's and/or Paramedics saved your ( or your loved ones) life. You are extremily grateful for their effort, right? Now lets say that you find out that the EMT or Paramedic was a convicted sex offender who had served their time in prison and been allowed to recieve his or her license. This person went through all the appeals processes with the state and was granted the right to go to the school, graduated, and was fully licensed by your state. Would you still be grateful for their help?
I posted this question 2 months ago and wanted to repost it again to see f i get any different responses. best answer gets the 10 points...

Why should that bother me? If an individual has paid his dues to society, in full, then what difference does it make? As long as said individual has saved my loved one, it doesn't matter what they've done in the past, as that doesn't have to have any bearing on what occurs in the present.

Of course I'd still be very grateful! I wouldn't hold past deeds against somebody. Believe it or now, people do change. When I was 17 I was in trouble with the law. I recieved 1 years worth of probation and learned a very valuable lesson. (Note: I was charged as an adult and recieved a CWOF).
Nowadays I work as a paralegal investigator; a notary public; and process server. I've learned my lesson when I was 17 and I will never, ever, break the law again!

I would still be grateful because his past history has nothing to do with saving specific person's life.
The other alternative would be wishing the sex offender never treated specific person, which that person might be currently dead since she/he did not recieve the proper medical treatment. This would be a rather selfish and foolish thought process, which beggers can't be choosers.

I would absolutely be grateful! If the state agreed to license the individual, I would assume he had been rehabilitated. I would however be cautious still. I would have my guard up a little bit more, but even if I felt nervous in his prescience, I would still feel gratitude for helping a loved one.
remember that scene in crash, where the black woman is in the car and its about to explode and the white cop who assaulted her the night before shows up to save her life? shes apprehensive and would rather die then have this man save his life, but he shows his remorse to her and a sincere desire to help her at that time. she was definitely grateful. I think people are who they are, not what they do.

I would always be grateful for what they did. Besides that, your question is too black and white. You didn't mention what the offense was - if it was rape or something involving children, I would have a problem. It depends on what they did.

I'd definitely be grateful for their help in such a time. I may not invite them to be in my home (at a later time) and hang around my kids, but I'd be grateful for their assistance when I needed it.

absolutely!! sounds like to me that the person did their time and paid the consequences, not to mention that they are now doing such a great service to society for not a lot of money (they deserve much more than they get).
