There is no doubt when it comes to any issue contemplating life or death there will be a conflict. Most people go through life avoiding serious trouble because of the inevitable repercussions. Those that don't respect the law must face the consequences. Serious crimes, such as murder, people think require capital punishment. So we can't justify intentionally murdering a criminal even if he or she "deserves" it?.
First of all I need to ask where people stand on capital punishment. I am one of the few Americans in our society who opposes the death penalty. Most of those who believe it is wrong look at the moral side of the issue. Most would agree it is wrong to take a life, but for some reason it is acceptable in a death penalty. Murder is wrong in any case. Some would argue "an eye for an eye" is the logical way to deal with murder. Murder is morally wrong in any case. Why should the state be able to decide if a criminal lives or dies? No one should hand out punishment in the form of death. The only one who should deal with punishment by death is God. Nobody has to believe in God to question if another human has the authority to end another one's life. Don't get me wrong, a person who chooses to end another person's life deserves to be punished. The families of the victims usually want the person responsible for destroying their lives to be punished by death. It's an understandable reaction to such a shocking and terrifying loss. To be honest, if I found out a close person to me was murdered I would think the person who did it should die, but I would be doing to that person what was so upsetting to me. This reaction to a murder is a normal element of rage. The problem is killing the murderer will not bring back the loss of a loved one. At the time it might feel like a relief to know the man is dead, but it is not going to solve anything.
The best alternative to the death penalty is life in prison without parole.
