Death Penalty: Is It Inhumanity Or Necessity?

The death penalty which is also known as capital punishment, is the most extreme punishment a government can execute on its own people. Throughout history, the dispute over the necessity of the use of the death penalty has continued. Many oppose the death penalty on point of moral and ethical grounds, but one must keep in mind that capital punishment is not at all excessive and unnecessary form of punishment for those who knowingly and intentionally commit a severe crime and that the words “kill,” “murder,” and “execute” are not replaceable

When someone takes a life, the equilibrium of justice is disturbed. Unless that balance is restored, society capitulate to a rule of violence. Only the taking of the murderer's life restores the equilibrium and allows society to show convincingly that murder,rape is an intolerable crime which will be punished by taking the life of murderer

Retribution has its point in religious values, which have historically maintained that it is appropriate to take an "eye for an eye" and a life for a life

Even though the victim and the victim's family cannot be reinstate to the status which antedate the murder, at least an execution brings cessation to the murderer's crime and make sure that the murderer will create no more victims.

For the most cruel and heinous crimes such as rape for which the death penalty is applied, offenders are worthy of getting the worst punishment under our system of law, and that is the death penalty. Any lesser punishment would sabotage the value society places on protecting valuable lives.

In my opinion, I conclude thatthe death penalty is morally right to a considerable extent. When a criminal commits a capital crime, they should agonize a punishment which equals the crime and it is thought that the best punishment possible is the death penalty since it does not only abolish a criminal's physical freedom by imprisoning them, it removes their psychological freedom by eliminating their choice to live their life. When a criminal is humanely killed for his or her dreadful crimes. This is incredibly beneficial for society and will increase the confidence of innocent individuals who may otherwise be afraid to leave their home. Therefore, capital punishment is better for the majority so more people are happier. Capital Punishment also warns future criminals and dissuades them from performing capital crimes and this increased the safety of the public. Some would argue that Capital Punishment has not seemed to make a difference in the crime rate however, the fact that it is in place makes the criminal system in a country seem more severe and would generally deter future criminals. It is also though hypocritical for the government to murder, as a punishment for murder. However, the legal system counteracts the immoral actions with a punishment that matches the horrific crime; and in these circumstances the death penalty is the only possible match for murder. The fact that the criminal will not learn and does not have the ability to change his or her ways; but it can be argued that every human is given one chance at life and their morality is their own choice which they must pay the price for. To conclude, I believe that capital punishment is morally right since the society benefits greatly, it is administered in a humane manner and is the only punishment that levels with the crime

The killer should not lie in some prison with three meals a day, family visits and endless appeals. For justice to triumph, some killers just need to die."
