Is Capital Punishment ethical?? How do we, as individuals, define "ethical"??
Personally, I'm against Capital Punishment because there have been so many innocent people executed in the past. I've been doing some research on the topic and it's sad to think that after the executions, more facts will be discovered, proving their innocence-- through DNA a lot of times. II also have realized the fact that even if the people on death row weren't in fact executed, a lot of them were released and taken off of death row because they were found to be innocent. These people have lost years and years of their lives, sitting on death row, knowing they did not commit a crime. I'm not an expert on capital punishment and I'm not exactly sure how we should solve this debate. But, I do think that there needs to be a different system in place. There is a lot of overcrowding in jails, but how can we fix this problem without killing others?? How do people form their opinions?? I know I form my opinions based upon my own personal ethics and morals. I don't base it upon a certain religion. Everybody has an opinion... This topic is of great interest to me and I'd love to get peoples' feedback about how the feel. |
