Today, a man who raped and murdered a 15 year old girl was executed in calcutta in India. He was the security guard of the apartment where the girl lived. He commited the crime fourteen years ago and was in jail all these years. What i want to ask is, what do you guys think about the death penalty? Is it right to take a human life in the name of justice?

I'm absolutely opposed to the death penalty in all cases. It has nothing to do with justice; it's merely "revenge" of the worst type.

Here here, an eye for an eye just leaves the whole world blind. I think it's absolutely wrong for murder to be justified. It's awful. One person kills one person, then we say it's okay to kill that person. Let them sit in jail. I've been in jail, and it totally reformed me and made me look over my life. For some it works, for some it doesn't. Anyways, we shouldn't be so quick to kill.

I'm not religious either, that was a quote from Ghandi (or at least I saw it on a poster in school saying Ghandi said it).

The death penalty has been around for ages. But has it prevented murderers from committing crimes?

The death penalty isn't a deterrent; on the whole US states with the death penalty have HIGHER murder rates than those that don't. If execution works how come Canada and Europe have much fewer murders than the US?

If it's right to take a human life in the name of justice? No, of course not. It's never right to take a human life.
A person kills another person, get cought, get sentenced, and then, all of a sudden it's okay to kill the killer. Quite weird, isn't it?

Since when do we human beings make sense? We kill others to rule over their land to have a forced peace. When does this make sense? When is it right? Humans are odd creatures.

first of all, it costs more in the appeals process etc. to execute someone than to imprison them for life. Don't be ignorant.
So how does killing this one rapist better society? Will it stop the same thing from happening to other people? I think not.
Don't you think it's better that he lives out his life in jail where he has to be put in isolation because every other inmate wants to kill him? IU honestly think it's better that he have the life sentence than execute him, even though i wouldn't give a rat's ass if mr rapist was strangled and assraped with a broom in prison.
Also, the circumstances you've given us are very extreme--what about a case where the whole sentencing is based upon circumstantial evidence? There's been cases where DNA testing has proven someone innocent after they have spens 15 years on death row! So, for the sake of those people and considering that the death penalty is not an improvement for society, how can you argue that the deatch penalty is ethical and just?

@whiz good on ya to start this topic! :-D i think this debate will continue till eternity and will be filled with mixed reactions. The thing is i myself can't decide which is best! Maybe death penalty should be given in the rarest of rare cases. But law should be equal for all!

I'm against it. Killing is killing no matter how you put it. Death penalty is just a form of revenge which unfortunately is a virtue for some people. |

I'm with Jabe and the others that think that the death penalty is simply some kind of revenge thing.
I personally would like to see them rot in jail for the rest of their life - let them spend it realising and reflecting on what they've done. And if they don't show remorse - they've still lost their freedom, and especially if they're a sex offender or paedophile, they'd be looking over their shoulder for the rest of their life as they're hated even by murderers and other prisoners.

The most horrible thing about the death penalty is that one knows the exact moment he will die. How would it feel waiting for death? The overwhelming mental tension that person may have suffered.
