Capital punishment...hmmm I'll raise some questions first 1) criminals...do they deserve death ? 2) can we really applie the an eye for an eye rule ? 3) isn't it murder after all (by the State), even though we use a different term for it ? 4) what happens when an innocent is put to death because we erred in our judgement ? can it be accepted ? 5) I've heard that it takes alot more money to put someone to death compared to keep him in a cell for the rest of his life, what's the economical factor ? 6) Can the death of a murderer really ease the victim's close friends/parents/husband/children hurt ? I'll post what I think about it later
