The problem is that there is literally no way to ensure that you never execute innocent people. And no, it doesn’t matter what solution you come up with, it’s not going to work. So you have to ask yourself: is killing people you think “don’t deserve to be alive” worth killing innocent people? Again, there is no option “kill them without killing innocents”. You either kill both innocent and guilty people, or you don’t kill anyone.
Unfortunately the death penalty is currently not about killing the criminal, but a good-looking death.
Basically it does not matter if the person suffers for an hour, as long as it is not visible.
From hanging, electrocution, to gassing (yes, US did that at one point) and lethal injections, the method was always slow and painful.
With the lethal injections one, most chemicals were banned for it, so they are poorly researched by laymans, not as functional and literally made so the person is paralyzed, while they still can feel everything and can painfully be dying for half an hour.
I’m left as fuck asf but I support the death penalty in certain cases.
Some people really don’t deserve to be alive and that’s a factual statement regardless of morality.
