I'm an illustrator and have been requested to draw subjects that are considered immoral and even illegal.?

I know that people into subjects such as pedophilia or bestiality in this country are considered to be sexual offenders, especially for having possession of child porn on their computers. However, I was wondering if illustration wise if such images could be created legally. I know for instance there are illustrations out there depicting murder, rape, and torture of women (which is also immoral/illegal). I'd imagine that since that is legal to have such fantasy illustrations that other subjects would be also legally acceptable no?
Answers:
Actually, in the US --- only real images of real children can be considered child pornography.
Animated images, computer graphics, or images of adults that look like children are not considered child pornography
The Supreme Court ruled on this point a few years ago, based on the fact that in these instances, no actual children were involved at any point in the process, so there was nobody to protect by making these fake-images illegal.
Don't do it. No amount of money is worth your soul.
Yuck, why would you want to? Who cares if it's legal, not everything that is wrong is illegal. Just accept that it's wrong and don't do it.
Do you really want to be a part of the debasement of mankind? If you are talented surely you can find better subjects to illustrate.
You have two choices:
1. Draw these things and risk going to prison, the scorn of your family and friends, deep guilt, endless nightmares, and ending up in Hell.
2. Say no.
I can see how that could be a tough one.
