why?
I think that only 17 states --- or I think it is 18 states that have done away with the death penalty. Do you think that the death penalty does any good or not? I personally do not see the use in it with one of the reasons being that it costs a helluva lot more than spending life in prison. It does not necessarily serve justice to someone because it does not change the fact that whatever happened happened. What are your thoughts. A great debate is very welcomed.
No one is entitled to another's life. That removes the death penalty.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. That removes life imprisonment.
Though admittedly I sometimes think of 1984's beautiful ending when this question comes up.
