Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer. Doctors help, not hurt.

Not only is predicting a person's end of life within six months difficult, it can also be inaccurate.

Assisted suicide is open to manipulation and relies on diagnoses that may be wrong. Assisted suicide is killing. Killing is wrong. Killing is illegal. If assisted suicide were legal, murderers could get away with killing people. They could just say it was assisted suicide. Killing is illegal. Therefore assisted suicide should be illegal.

Not only is that very bad grammar, but spanking leaves no marks unless the parent is beating the child with a belt, stick, etc. Also, the kid will not think violence is the answer to everything, because he or she knows why they are being punished.

Again, spanking kids is discipline, not abuse. The child will not hate you because they know you love them and that they are being punished. They know not to do wrong again, or else.

Firstly, parents do not "quarrel" with a 3 year old. Secondly, parents don't need to spank their children. Children need discipline but the way the sentence is phrased makes it sound like a drug. Parents spank their children to teach them right from wrong, not for enjoyment. And lastly, kids do not learn to misbehave from their parents, to make a mistake is human nature.

That is a horrible thing to say, I am disgusted! Yours is a stupid comment and should not be on the site or anywhere.

On the contrary, The cost of the death penalty is much higher than other punishments. Everything that is needed for an ordinary trial is the same for a Death Penalty case, only more so.

More pre-trial time,

More experts,

Twice as many attorneys,

2 trials instead of 1, 1 for guilt, 1 for punishment,

And a series of appeals during which the inmates are held in high security of death row.

It's also a well-known fact that people with resources get lighter sentences. They can afford better lawyers than others. This is just one fault in our legal system.

As the saying goes, Capital punishment means those without capital get the punishment.

Exactly! No man, woman, or government has the right to take a life. No matter how justified it is. God is the only being with that power.

Those people may deserve to die but it's nobody's job to kill them. I have no sympathy for monsters either but better to have them rot in jail with regret than be set at ease.

Yes. Many kids have been raised being spanked when being disobedient. By definition, spanking is striking someone's buttocks with an open hand. This is not child abuse. The child is not being slapped in the face, punched, or beaten, that is abuse. Spanking is discipline. I grew up being spanked whenever I did something wrong, that way I learned that actions have consequences. Spanking does not hurt very much and is only temporary. It does not make bruises or marks. The worst spanking does is make your butt red and occasionally a little sore. But again, the physical effects are only temporary, the effects spanking has on the child's behavior are really for the better.

A point against corporal punishment is that "parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They do not have the resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result the immediately react by smacking or hitting the child, even if there is another solution to the problem." On the contrary, parents are the best to deal with misbehaving children. They could have had other children, had little siblings to take care of, or had their parents help them. Also, parents do not immediately hit their child if they start crying or cause a problem. If a child misbehaves, the parent will, in almost all cases, give the child a warning and/or put them in timeout. If they keep misbehaving the parent might spank them.

Another point is, "Children usually feel resentful, humiliated, and helpless after being spanked. The primary lesson the learn appears to be that they should try harder not to get caught."

I, being spanked myself, can tell you for a fact that that is not the case. When spanked, the child is upset, yes, but they learn not to do whatever it is the parent spanked them for or they will be punished. The child won't misbehave because they know if they do they will be spanked.

In conclusion, spanking is a quick and effective way to discipline a child. Once again, spanking is not punching or beating. That is child abuse, striking a child on the buttocks is not.
