The death penalty is a sentence imposed by the law which

consists in removing the legal life of a person who has

committed or is suspected of having committed a crime that is
considered by the power and just as serious enough to be
punishable by death.

The claim that I'm about to say are of personal perspective. Everyone
has an inalienable human right to live, even those who may
have committed murder; sentencing a person to death and
executing them violates that right.
Death penalty is justified to a certain extent.

the counter claim is according to the laws perspective relative

to the families and friends of the victim
Human that murder other human has no right to live,
sentencing a person to death and executing them is right.
In 1966, abolitionist movements started to take place when
support for the death penalty reached all-time low, in which only
42% votes supported the death penalty.

Over 27, 000 people were executed when Henry VII became
king of England
Over the years different regions developed the Death Penalty
for various crimes

Individuals are less likely to commit violent crimes,

including murder, if they know they could be sentenced
to death.
•Assumes that criminals study and think the consequences of
being caught.
•Many crimes are committed in the heat of the moment,
allowing very little influence on the decision of the punishments
of committing the crime.
•When criminals commit a crime punishable by the death
penalty, they have no interest in diminishing its potential
penalty for not committing additional crimes or homicides more.
•Example: if an executing an person is punishable with the
death penalty the criminal loses nothing if he commits multiple
assassinations in attempt to escape.

Real Life Problem

"To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, it is not
justice."

These days, over 2/3 of countries have abolished the death

penalty
Several of different ways of executions were applied in that
time such as hanging, burning or even boiling
First established death sentence was in the eighteenth century
B.C. in Babylon
Over 60% of the world's population live in countries where
executions take place, such as the People's Republic of China,
India, the United States of America and Indonesia, the four
most-populous countries in the world
RETRIBUTION

The real question is

Who are we to decide who gets to live?

Value of Life - Human right to live

Ethics is a junction of values and principles that imposes a
human behaviour in a given society according to their culture.
Ethics is established so that there is a good social functioning,
so that no one is harmed. In this case ethics is like a sense of
social justice amongst humanity
Defendants are "innocent until proven guilty"
In many occasions confession is obtained under torture
and pressure.
False confessions can be induced through coercion or
by the mental disorder or incompetency of the accused.
The death penalty prevents violent
crime and makes society safer.

Sooner or later in a world of legal execution, innocent people

will get killed because of mistakes in the law system. People
that are part of the process such as witnesses, prosecutors and
jurors can all make mistakes.
In the USA, 130 people sentenced to death have been found
innocent since 1973 and released from death row.
