Question

Do you think the death penalty should be used as a punishment for crime? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer: I do not think the death penalty should ever be used as punishment for a crime because it is a violation of human rights and the government murdering someone makes them just as wrong as the criminal that murdered someone.

Hope this helps!  :)

Answer 2

For severe crimes, like taking a life of a human being, yes. I think it would in that case.


But I don't think it should be a penalty to such a large punishment such as a death penalty, because what if the criminal did something minor, like stealing from a small candy store or something like that? Would you really give that kind of person a punishment such as death, which the victim cannot redo life and try to improve as a better person?

I think the death penalty should be used for people who are long gone in mind and cannot come back, if you would know what I mean (people who don't feel regret for something like murder and such). In my opinion, that is! :)
