Right or wrong?
Revenge or just Justice?
When you think from a logical perspective It would seem like the correct decision for the most socially unacceptable of crimes however when you do the research it suprisingly costs more to kill a criminal opposed to imprisoning a criminal for life, in saying this however we're clearly doing it wrong and I bet what's making it cost so much is are so called "morals" that become completely warped in this situation.
From a moral perspective what gets me is that we are a self-proclaimed civilized society with a set of sound morals however how can we claim that when we are sending people to their death? Aren't we commiting the exact crime that we would send criminals to their death for and wouldn't that not only conflict our so called morals but make us hypocrites of the highest level?
There is no doubt that from a civilized and morally sound perspective the right thing to do would be to remove that person from society and imprison them for life, ordering their murder frankly out of revenge isn't civilized or justice for that matter, logically it would be the right thing to do FOR NOW to imprison the criminal for life simply because it costs less so I ask the question, why do you support capital punishment?
