Death Penalty

Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those who agree say that
death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who disagree say that it is inhuman,
not effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence after the criminals die.

In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibility of
making the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind the bars is
not easy either. Also, every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In this way he or she
can start all over again in another life style.

Those who agree argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with their
money. When they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by blackmailing and killing people.
So, who says that jails will stop them from being bad guys?

My own opinion is divided. On the one hand, I want to be humane, and on the other hand,
I wonder if those people are worthy of my feeling.
