Should death penalty be abolished

Answer 1

There are various opinions on this subject. Obviously, some are for it and others against it. Your own personal opinion is the answer.

Some of the significant arguments about the death penalty are, firstly that if an innocent person is executed by mistake or because of an abuse of the legal system, there is no way to bring such a person back to life; the mistake can never be corrected. In comparison, if a person is wrongly imprisoned, they can be let out of prison, which at least partially corrects the mistake (although that doesn't return the time that was lost in prison).

Then, on the other side of the argument, it is also true that people who are sent to jail may still commit additional crimes, either in jail (for example by attacking other prisoners or guards) or in the outside world, if they escape, or if they are parolled. Whereas, once someone is executed, you can be sure that they will never commit another crime.

A tremendous amount of tax dollars are spent on imprisoning people. The death penalty can make justice either cheaper, if it is done quickly and efficiently, or more expensive, if there are long drawn-out appeals.

There are some people who have committed such horrible, monstrous crimes that no penalty short of death seems sufficient.

Answer 2

I think yes, It should because people should get a second chance and even though the did somthing to earn it, they might change!

Helping Ideas:

• Every time someone is put to death penalty, Aloved one screams

• Every time someone is put to death penalty, the person who made them get it, gets a HUGE sin

• Its just flat out wrong...

Answer 3

This question is a matter of opinion, rather than of objective fact. You could make a statistical, emotional, and logical standpoint for either side of this argument. There is no right or wrong answer. You should work on deciding for yourself whether or not YOU believe it should be illegal.

Answer 4

Some arguments for capital punishment could include that the use of taxpayer money to keep convicted murderers in a comfortable living situation is counter-intuitive. It could also be argued that the death penalty is more humane than a sentence of life in confinement without civil rights.

Answer 5

Personally I think not, it is however a matter of opinion. It is a prerequisite to join the EU that a country must not have the death penalty and it is considered immoral by the majority of major religions.

Answer 6

This is a purely a debate and discussion question that cannot be definitively answered on this venue. Suggest that you pose this premise on a webstie, chatroom or blog that i smore appropriate to the subject matter.

Answer 7

This question will be debated forever. I'm not sure if there is a right or wrong but only individual opinions. My personal opinion is that there are some crimes so horrible and cruel that only the death penalty seems just. I think Ted Bundy deserved death but that is just my opinion.

There are millions of people that want to see it abolished and that's right for them. So it all comes down to what is right for you. I try to imagine what I would feel like if someone I loved was murdered, and I think I would feel that the murderer lost the privilege to life. So the bottom line is pick the side that's right for you.
