Some people advocate death penalty for those who committed violent crimes. Others say that capital punishment is unacceptable in contemporary society. Describe advantages and disadvantages of death penalty and give your opinion.

In discussion of capital punishments, many believe that it is vital for the deterrence of the law system while some pacifists would argue that the act of handing out

death

sentences violates basic human rights. Personally, I completely agree with the

This

example can clearly be seen in the Bible or various religious scriptures of Buddhism, Muslim and Catholicism, that only omnipotent beings have the power to make the final judgement, humans are forbidden from ending other’s life.

Furthermore

, there is an inordinate number of incidences where the innocent get unfair sentences or criminals repent of their delinquent actions. Should

On the other hand

, advocates of the

death

sentence might say that it is a compelling method of punishment that reduces crime rate by the infliction of fear towards other law breakers.

true, but

only to a certain degree, recent studies about

penalty.

In addition

, some common tools used for government-sanctioned killing,

for instance

lethal injection and electrocution, often entail an agonizing experience that does not end the victim’s life quickly. These
