Actually the death penalty would I think be preferable to spending the rest of your life behind bars which is I'm sure is mental torture on a daily basis , most civilised countries have abolished it long ago it's use as a deterrent for criminals engaging in criminality is useless so what's the point ? It just seems to be a futile demonstration that a system can act savagely also . Side: Against
"Actually the death penalty would I think be preferable to spending the rest of your life behind bars which is I'm sure is mental torture on a daily basis" I really agree with this. I think it should be allowed for prisoners with no chance at parole to seek euthanasia if they desire. Side: For
Hello W: BEFORE we discuss whether the death penalty is an appropriate punishment, we have to FIRST discuss how fairly it's meted out.. Certainly, some states execute many more people than others do.. That, in and of itself, is clear evidence of how UNFAIRLY it is meted out.. For that reason among others, I'm against the death penalty. excon Side: Against
If your against the death penalty how unfairly it's carried out is immaterial as your against it either way , how do you or others prove whether it's carried out fairly ? Also if authories in certain states are carrying out the death penalty unfairly for what reason are they acting illegally ? Side: For
Hello again, D: Yes, I am against the death penalty.. But THAT isn't a legal reason WHY it should be outlawed.. Being UNFAIRLY administered IS. As I said earlier, that SOME states execute LOTS of people, and others don't execute ANY, is PROOF of it's unfairness.. You can't tell me that murderers in Texas are worse than murderers in California.. WHY are states acting illegally (unconstitutionally)??? Because, they CAN. excon Side: For
