the death penalty. a huge controversy in many places. is it right to take the life of any one person? i understand that the death penalty is suppose to be a punishment for a crime or a series of crimes, but taking the life of another human being is not right. it is not moral. so maybe someone killed over fifty people. and this person gets life in prison. but someone who kills a person, maybe two gets put on death row. it is not fair so why have it at all. life in prison is more of punishment than taking the life of the person accused. killing them is just an easy way out. when the person has to spend the rest of their life in prison suffering with the guilt of the blood on their hands, it is much more of a punishment. let me put it this way, if someone were to kill the person who you hold closest, would you rather them be killed and thats the end? or would you rather them rot in prison and suffer with guilt. suffer from malnutrition. i would rather them suffer. i dont want them to just die and not even have the chance to really think about what they have done wrong. i understand that some people are just so messed up that they do not see what they have done wrong. it takes time. it may take them a lifetime to realize that they did wrong. what if the person who was executed was actually found innocent? it would be too late. this has happened many times. and yet the death penalty is still legal. why? it's just not fair!
