Both capital punishment and life imprisonment can be considered immoral for several reasons. Firstly, they deprive individuals of their basic human rights, including the right to life and liberty. Secondly, there is a risk of executing or imprisoning innocent people, which cannot be rectified if new evidence emerges after their punishment. Lastly, these punishments can be seen as revenge rather than rehabilitation, perpetuating a cycle of violence and failing to address the root causes of crime.

When does a good man decide to kill?

There is almost a contradiction in terms, in that deciding to kill another human would almost always mean that the man (or woman) is not good. A good man can kill in self defence, if no other option is available. A good man can kill as part of his duty in a just war. Some say that a good man can order or carry out capital punishment, but most advanced societies have banned capital punishment as immoral and unjustified.
