Lastly, the moral implications of state-sanctioned killing raise profound ethical concerns about the value of human life and the possibility of rehabilitation.

This is a highly debated topic nowadays and has been for a while. Is the death penalty too harsh? Is the death penalty the right punishment? In some cases, say a serial murderer, the death penalty is justified because they took or ruined multiple lives and is especially applicable if they feel no remorse.
