Answer 1 - YES

I think it is fair if it is always lawfully applied and if we can virtually eliminate the possibility of misapplication.

Answer 2 - NO

I believe that its irrevocability makes it inherently unjust. Should a person be innocent, there is no way to resolve the issue of their innocence. Additionally, I cannot reconcile an individual prohibition with taking life (murder's illegality) with a permission granted to the state to end the lives of its citizens.
