I am pro death penalty, and its not even a thing where I live. I've heard all the arguments against and I simply don't agree. I also don't consider it an ethical problem in regards to state sanctioned murder.
I am however in favour of painless executions and every effort should of course be made to ensure the event is as stress free as possible. I'm not a complete animal
What is your stance on the risks of killing innocent people through failure of the justice system?
that's a tough one I can't lie. if the death penalty is on the table, there really needs to be a better justice system with a much harder burden of proof involved
