The death penalty, even when it’s seen as something grievous for taking away
the most valuable thing a human being has, it shouldn’t be viewed as something
immoral because when and individual has reached the point to be considered
worthy of it, he must had committed some sort of capital crime or a serious
offense. Rousseau, in his Social Contract says that when a member of society
commits a felony so severe that it alters/shakes/perverts/ the social stability, he
will lose everything that bounds him to it, therefore he won’t deserve clemency
or protection from other members of society. Also, ordaining death penalty in
crimes in crimes such as murder, raping of minors, and so on, might be an
efficient way to prevent these, and seen from an utilitarian perspective,
prosecuting the death penalty is more economic to the state than providing for a
criminal when he’s under life imprisonment.

participate in executions since they can apply their knowledge to ensure the
convicted dies in a human way, also, this could help to avoid execution methods
such as hanging, fusillading, electric chairs, or gas chambers. The participation
of a medicine expert should be obligatory in every execution since administering
a lethal dosis to the convicted is the/a most human and efficient method of
realizing it/effecting it/carrying it out.

members of the community. It is a declaration of ethical guidelines for
physicians through the practicing of their profession and establishes the way
they should help people who need them. It has been modified numerous times
throughout history, given the fact that the original version dates from 2400 a.C.,
the modern version that current doctors take, can be summarized in the
following points: life protection, assisting a life that culminates, respecting the
patient’s privacy, sharing knowledge with new generations of doctors and
remembering that medicine is not just science, but the art the of warmth,
sympathy and understanding.
