This is the strongest of all the arguments. Human rights which are defined as
the basic rights to be given to an individual to lead a respectable life are
considered to be the most important right to be observed by any individual.
Right to life is the basic right of any human being. Every individual has a
right to live whether criminal or not. No human has a right to infringe the
right to life of any individual, irrespective of his deeds.
3. Wrongful execution.
No one can be perfect, and so the Judiciary. It is often seen that innocent
people face wrongful execution. Many people have become the victim of this
wrongful execution which leads to lose of faith in law and justice among
citizens. Sometimes improper procedure leads to unfair execution. Life of an
innocent is more precious than the perpetrator. This loophole in law is out of
human error in order to avoid action leading to such irrevocable
consequences. Thus, Capital Punishment should be banned.
5. Second chance
This theory of justice which demands for Tooth for a Tooth and an Eye for an Eye is
the strongest argument of the capital punishment. When a criminal does an act to
fulfill his selfish motives resulting into personal gains then the equilibrium of justice
in society is disturbed. To maintain this equilibrium the criminal should be punished
with the same intensity of punishment no matter, even if it is capital punishment. If
the criminal can dare to snatch away liberty, peace, lives from any individual then
the justice says that he should also be deprived of all these facilities leading to a
comfortable life it the society.
2. Deterrence.
The best method to prevent a person from doing crime is to show him the fear of
consequences of his actions. Like the fear of going into the Hell after death stops
one from doing any immoral act, same way, fear of capital punishment that is, fear
of losing life is the greatest fear for any human. It also acts like a moral to the rest
of the mankind. It is just like a stick into the hands of law to make justice prevail in
the society of civilized people. Even life imprisonment is less feared because in that
case, at least the life is saved. But in the case of capital punishment snatching away
of the human life is the most terrifying consequence.
A criminal is like a rotten apple among the good ones, he is like a virus to the
society, which can even infect others of the same disease. Like a doctor excise any
body part to save life of a patient likewise, a criminal is cut out permanently from
the society for the well being of the society. Human beings live in civilized society
and do not allow anyone to perform any inhuman act which causes harm or any
type of discomfort to any individual. Capital Punishment is the best way to remove
such diseased people from the society. Before they could spread their immoral
believes to other people in order to justify their act they should be removed from
the society from the root level.
Capital Punishment is the cheapest way to remove the ill from the society. If the
criminal is given life imprisonment, all his expenditure is improvised by the
government. Instead of spending money on criminals this money can be used for
the development of the society and welfare of the people. Lots of people die of
hunger; instead of feeding such people government spend money to feed the
criminals, which in turn raises number of cases of crime in the society.
5. Eliminates negativity.
