Interesting debate. I think there should not be a death row, if you are sentenced to death it should be carried out the next day. It would save a lot of time and money. Just my opinion.

Death sentences do seem suitable punishments, although I think a better alternative would be to just drop them in the middle of a large dessert or the middle of Australia or something. With no communication or food and necessities.

Life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty. It is far better to prolong the agony when the person really is guilty.

I could debate this subject with myself. I like so many others do not consider myself violent but in some cases I honestly feel that the criminal longs to die. On the other hand, I know if I sat on a death penalty jury I would vote against it. I could not live with myself if I voted a man to death and later learned he was innocent.

When a person shows complete and utter disregard for other people–disregard for their mental and emotional well being, disregard for their bodily comfort and for their very life, why should that person be afforded regard and mercy and why should that person’s life be respected?

People who torment and kill others have lost their footing in civilized society. Appropriate measures should be taken to protect civilized people.

Ah, Lord Banks: The notion of “an eye for eye” is from the Old Testament, where man was living under Mosaic Law. We are now under grace, whereby Christ has died that we may be forgiven of all sin. I know it’s hard to swallow when heinous crimes are committed, but as a Christian I have to live under the presumption that as long as one has breath in his/her body, one is able to repent and be forgiven. That said, I am against the death penalty for I believe only God has a right to take a life, because it is only He who can give life. Those who think THEY have the right to take a life still get the chance to be forgiven. If they don’t accept that, they will spend an eternity in hell, where I believe their suffering will be unimaginable.
