The Death Penalty: Is It Good or Bad?


Summary

I've always supported the death penalty, yet I'm unsure if I could personally carry out an execution. This doesn't make me a hypocrite, and I'll explain why.

The Case for the Death Penalty

I support the death penalty not for revenge, but because it can deter crime and save lives. Some individuals are indifferent to life, even their own, and might commit violent acts regardless of the penalty. However, others are deterred by the thought of execution. They might not care about harming others or belief in an afterlife, but they do care about their own survival. In prison, these individuals might refrain from further violence out of fear of escalating their sentence to death. If the death penalty can save even one innocent life, I believe it's justified.

The Risks and Costs

I acknowledge the risk that innocent people might be wrongly executed. Yet, I believe the death penalty has saved more innocent lives than it has mistakenly taken. It's true that it can be more costly than life imprisonment, but if it saves lives, the expense is worthwhile. Streamlining the process could also reduce costs.

Personal Dilemma

Despite these beliefs, I'm unsure if I could personally execute someone. There are others who feel a duty to perform this act. My hesitation stems from uncertainty about divine commandments. Does executing a murderer align with God's will, or is it murder? Would I risk my soul by participating in a legal execution? I'd be willing to risk my soul to protect my loved ones or defend my country in war, but I might be too selfish to do so in a legal context. This inner conflict raises questions about my faith and trust in a just deity.

Conclusion

I probably wouldn't be able to push the button, but one never truly knows until faced with such a decision. If there was no one else to do it, who knows what I'd be capable of?
