CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Capital Punishment
Capital Punishment: a.k.a. the death penalty. To kill or not to kill. This is an
extremely controversial question in 
today's society. The number of people who are for it still believe in the saying,  an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a 
tooth. These are the people who feel if you intentionally take the life of someone else,
then yours should be taken 
as well. But then there are the other number of people who feel the death penalty should
be banned because of its 
cruel and unjust way of punishment. Should we keep it or not? And if it is kept, how do
we determine who should be 
sentenced to death? An easy way to answer these questions is to totally nullify capital
punishment completely. 
One reason why the death penalty is so controversial is because many feel its cruel ways
of punishment are 
unnecessary, even if the crime is murder, whether it be premeditated or unintentional.
They believe there are other 
ways of condemnation besides execution. In the case of an unintentional death feelings
are that the perpetrators 
should have the right to live, but have to face each day with the fact that they killed
someone weighing on their 
conscience. On the other hand, such as with a voluntary murder, the ideas are somewhat
similar. They believe the 
murderer doesn't deserve the death penalty. Chances are if a person is insane enough to
kill another human being in 
the first place, they aren't going to care what happens to them. They 
2
realize that their execution, in most cases, is going to be short and painless. This
isn't a just punishment for someone 
who has inflicted severe pain upon another life. Our court system, after initiating a
life sentence without parole, 
should not offer these killers the comforts they have in jail. They should be treated
more or less like animals. In 
short, let the ones who institute a crime unwillingly live, but do not let the punishment
be as severe as it would for a 
voluntary criminal. 
There are a vast number of people who believe that increasing the use of the death
penalty will abate the crime rate.
