An eye for an eye. Right or wrong?
I say it is wrong.
All human life is sacred. Society has a moral obligation to protect human life, not take it. The death penalty harms society by cheapening the value of life. Allowing the state to inflict death on certain of its citizens legitimizes the taking of life. The death of anyone, even a convicted killer, diminishes us all. Society has a duty to end this practice which causes such harm, yet produces little in the way of benefits.
I agree, all human life is sacred.
however...
If you take a life or are involved in taking a life or commit some horrible crime..... you fortifier all rights to your life. If the taking of life is just fine and dandy... be prepared to have that very same visited upon you.
Its called getting as good as you gave.
Eye for eye.... you better believe it.
Killing every person on death row would not diminish me one bit. Hand me the plunger and ill push the drugs.
You and I disagree on capital punishment. I'm an abolitionist. LWOP is forfeiting life without state sanctioned murder.
