Re: To Kill or Not to Kill, That Is the Question
I don't see the point to the death penalty. It does not seem to fit a purpose, eye for an eye tooth for a tooth and all that.
The only valid reason I have heard for the death penalty is purely economics, so that tax payers don't have to support and feed criminals for the rest of their life sentence. That is shaky grounds to me, use that comparison and you start putting a price on peoples heads, just how much money are we willing to sacrifice human life for?
I also do not believe there is such thing as a humane way to kill a person, whether it is quickly or slowly, at some point leading up to their death they will undergo considerable stress as they contemplate those last few seconds of life.
Killing ourselves is such a Darwin thing to do.
