The death penalty is a very controversial topic, and will
remain such. I do not believe in the idea of a single or group of human being
deciding whether another human being lives or die. We should not be wasting our
life and time deciding on this choice. We should be doing more important
things, such as living our life and enjoying it. Sister Helen Prejean believes that the death penalty is a
violation of human dignity and we should not participate in such an activity.
This is not our purpose in life, nor will it change anything that has already
been done. Christians in the United States might find the death penalty as
rightful justice for the crime that was committed in their community. Does a
murder for another murder, bring justice at all? No. It will become a never
ending cycles of murders if we believe in the death penalty system. There will
be constant pain and anger in this cycle, and it can all be avoided. There are
alternatives solutions we can use instead of ending another life.
I totally agree with you about how it is not are place at all to be deciding whether or not someone should live but instead we should be focusing on other important things. There are so many things in this world that we should put are focus on just like you said about living our lives and enjoying it. You also made a good point about putting the death penalty into the perspective of how a murder for another murder does not bring justice. It is just like a never ending cycle and it does not make us any better by killing a murder for killing someone else.
