In my opinion, the death penalty is almost more humane than life in a detention facility. As long as we say "If you break these laws, you qualify for the death penalty, then they break those laws, too bad for them, they chose their action, live (or not) with the consequences.
Which laws should earn the death penalty when broken? Why those and not others? Are there any exceptions permissible because of circumstances, or, say, diminished mental capacity?
