No, the offender should have to help right some of their wrong. Skin and organ donations.
@9D5HF3M2yrs2Y
Yes, but only those who have taken the lives of others with undeniable evidence.
@8LJBV5R4yrs4Y
No. The death penalty is barbaric
@97BRZXP2yrs2Y
No, though i may believe some people deserve to die, giving any entity the power to determine who lives and who dies is a very slippery slope that quickly leads to abuse
@8TVQYLP4yrs4Y
No, the focus should be on rehabilitation and reintegration, not corporal punishment.
@8SRK63G4yrs4Y
depending on the circumstance
Yes, but I do not trust the govonment to be 100% accurate in these trials so I do not support it.
@8DMWLTN5yrs5Y
Not with our current legal system and how much it unfairly targets marginalized people. In a vacuum then I might for certain extremely dangerous people
I believe that it’s should be more torture then the death penalty. It’s should still be an option though
@939MW7X3yrs3Y
Personally I dont think death penalty is the way because they might change in their lives, maybe a full life in jail and if they get worse maybe its the way
@8DP6P7F5yrs5Y
No, nearly four percent of people sentenced to death are innocent. The injections used in administrating the death penalty were also not developed by doctors, as it would violate a doctor's oath to do no harm. This results in a painful process with one step solely for the benefit of the onlooker. It's also cheaper to sentence someone to a life in prison. I also just think that it's wrong.
@842VWLK4yrs4Y
no. end the death penalty for murder and other crimes but allow it in the case of war crimes, attempted genocide, and extreme terrorist attacks, like 9/11.
@8Y5H9DW3yrs3Y
No, we should be wary of giving the government the power to end the life of its citizens.
@TheCornlord16104yrs4Y
No, if the death pentality is for extreme cases of murder then murdering said criminals should count thus rendering the process useless.
