A life sentence in canada is 25 years not life. I think the argument that wins this debate is this one: This choice should be given for 2 reasons 1. it doesn't hurt anyone besides the person with the choice 2. Its a choice, so not EVERYONE has to do it. The point is this choice will only be made by people it would benefit, an exclusive group of people. Say a person has a disease and has a life expectancy of 20 years. They may just want to die then spend their life in jail. And because its just an alternative if it helps just one person in a million years it was worth it. Our system remains intact with maybe one or two people benefitting. Side: cha bro

I don't think so, because they still have the opportunity to get out after a while with parole. You're not really in a position to make a life-death decision after being given a sentence like you've described. Obviously most people would want death then and there, but eventually once you realize there is an chance to be let out eventually I think there's a much different perspective. Side: nah thats whack
