The Argument of Capital Punishment

The criminal justice system is consistent with the death sentence judgment, there are not many problems that led to robust discussion and debate. Both sides of the discussion include many religious arguments, due to the necessity of justice and sanctity of human life. In recent years, the discussion on executions has become a complex problem focusing on the equality of the criminal justice system, the position of the doctor who supports the execution, and the possibility of reform, improvement, rehabilitation of people currently dying. OK.

The strongest argument against the use of the death penalty is that the death penalty is a cruel and unusual sentence. Article 8 amendment of the US Constitution condemns cruel and unusual punishment in protest against the death penalty. When the Constitution was drafted, the death penalty was widely practiced in this country, but it was not wrong or cruel and unusual. Like philosophers who are the basis of the Constitution, many of the authors of the Constitution support the death penalty. John Rock does not say that murder is essentially wrong. At the moment it is the role of criminal law to prove to everyone that preventing the killing is the greatest concern. The death penalty is morally wrong. Because it accepts human life cruelly and inhumanly. The way to enforce the death penalty may include physical torture. Even if you punish a criminal, this is definitely a cruel and inhuman act.

After all, the most important argument against the death penalty is that it is immoral. Regardless of what you think, the death penalty is killing and homicide is always wrong! Although murder is considered morally absolute, but not necessarily so, it is necessary to further study the morality of the death penalty. According to the moral form you believe, murder is sometimes considered moral. In ethics classes, I studied five major ethical theories. Four of the theories are flawed: Utilitarianism, Kantoism (moral theory), egoism, relativism, and fifth virtue ethics. Let's see the viewpoint of the death penalty of each theory.
