--- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on January 05, 2017, 05:32:45 PM ---I still don't get why forcing them to live in prison until they die is more humane than putting them to death after trial. It's basically the same thing, considering giving them a life sentence without parole means they're going to die in jail, no matter what.

It's not about being humane, it's that the prisoner is the one with life, and what they do with the life they are given is their own decision. If they feel that they would rather die than live in prison, it should be their right to end life, and that's where I think a humane death penalty could be applied. However, it's completely unjust to say "this person clearly wants to die instead of be in prison their entire life" because then you're dictating how someone should handle their own life. This is where the boundary is crossed, where you make the decision to rob someone of the highest and most inalienable right of all, life.

I hate to be the 'look at me moral high ground' person but morals are one of the biggest factors in our legal system. Taking someone's life without their consent is an invasion of human rights, and justice is in place to protect the rights of humans. In order for a fair justice system, there needs to be a completely unbiased and objective evaluation of the crime, and in order for that to happen, crimes need to be judged and charged the same. The moment you say it's alright to kill this one type of person but not okay to kill this other is when justice becomes injustice.
