How do you debate about the death penalty?

Answer 1

well that completely depends on if you are FOR or AGAINST capital punishment.

first off, a rebuttal is easy, but you have to try and get into the head of your opponents. try and think of what their argument is going to be.

if they are FOR capital punishment, they might argue that it saves money rather than the gov't paying for the person to stay in the jail for their whole life. or that these people deserve to die.

if they are AGAINST it, they'll probably argue that the gov't has no right to end a person's life, or that we are punishing someone for murder, but my sentencing someone to death row, we are also committing murder.

you can rebut by pointing out the flaws of their argument, and try to hit them with hard facts; do NOT just base your rebut on saying that your opponent is wrong, you won;'t win that way.

hope that helped!!

Answer 2

Your question is a bit unclear but like all debates you have two sides: one FOR the death penalty and one AGAINST it. For instance, its advantages would be that it removes really evil people from society and makes people think twice before doing a serious crime. On the other hand to to take a life like that is simply inhumane and in some ways is worse than the original crime. I, personally, don't how someone could actually inject someone else with the objective to kill them, its true that they use three people to inject the criminal, only one syringe carrying the deadly liquid but that would mean that after you had injected three people you had probably killed on of them.
