stages of death penalty

I think a lot of us sit on the fence with this one; I've talked myself into and out of the death penalty issue more times than I can count. Putting someone to death will not bring back, or "heal" a victim and I'm not even sure it would bring me closure, if someone killed one of my loved ones and was subsequently put to death. There are laws against killing, so is it really right to be able to do so legally?

move sets it apart from other states that have eliminated the death penalty because many of those places rarely used it. "Illinois stands out because it was a state that used it, reconsidered it and now rejected it," said Richard Dieter, of the Death Penalty Information Center, in Washington. Prosecutors and some victims' families had urged Quinn to veto the measure.

I just wonder if those of you opposed to the death penalty have ever lost a child or spouse to a murder? would you feel differently then? You really can't answer that because you don't know. I am opposed to 20 year waits. Think of the money that would save.....

That's a complex one regardless of one's stance on the death penalty because of the standard clause of the Hippocratic oath "physician do no harm". However I would believe that legally since an injection of a hypodermic needle is technically a medical procedure legally it must be administered by a doctor. That is a complex ethical question.

The suicide comes ahead of a ballot measure in November which asks voters to repeal the death penalty in California, home to nearly a quarter of the nation's death row inmates. The ballot initiative focuses on the high cost of the death penalty in a state that has executed 13 people since capital punishment was reinstated in the nation in 1976. More than 720 inmates sit on death row pending lengthy and expensive appeals.

What I like about the death penalty? Death row. It would make me ill to have this woman having tea parties and book club meetings in jail. I really don't care if they ever put someone to death but a death to any type of social comfort I'm all for. What would hurt this woman? No access to media, people, attention. The interviews she did recently still cutting on her victim (verbally this time) are just outrageous. If it were my son, I'd want her on death row.

And how can someone get a lethal injection in a state that is in the process of trying to do away with the death penalty? Any ideas?

Perhaps out of concern for the surviving child. I personally believe that if the death penalty is ever deserved, this would be a no brainer for it. She doesn't deserve the chance to walk free ever again. Personally, I don't believe she has the right to breathe at all. She cold bloodedly killed her own child and viciously attacked the other. This deserves death penalty.

t think I can judge another person. I think I am against the death penalty but then some of the stories of the monster out in the world I read about everyday, sometimes I not sure. Does that make sense?

I dont know what to think anymore. I dont believe in the death penalty but putting him on the front lines of one of the wars might not be a bad idea. being facetious here....

(CNN) -- A young Sri Lankan woman has been beheaded with a sword in a small, dusty town in Saudi Arabia, thousands of miles from the lush jungles and idyllic beaches of the country where she grew up. Rizana Nafeek arrived in Saudi Arabia in 2005 and spent her first few weeks in Saudi Arabia working as a housemaid to earn money to support her relatives back home who had been displaced by the massive tsunami in the Indian Ocean the year before.

I was saying I'm not for the death penalty, but in cases like this I believe the person should be given the same abuse they put on the child, and be killed in the same manner. I know revenge isn't good too, but really...these people make me sick. And I found a web page her family made, to prevent things like this from happening to other kids!!!

think of the baby cooking slowly in the oven unable to get out... I hope she gets the death penalty. If she did it to your child wouldn't you want her killed?

s life, including calls from former FBI director William Sessions and Bob Barr, a four-term Republican congressman from Georgia and death penalty supporter. Many of those opposed to the execution noted the lack of physical evidence tying Davis to the crime and the recantation of critical eyewitness, many of whom told attorneys for Davis that they had been pressured by police to testify that Davis was the shooter.

Doctors cannot make execution less cruel by advising on a better way to execute. I am not trained in execution. The medicalization of the death penalty has occurred by the State acting in place, but not in purpose, of physicians. The use of midazolam, a drug in short supply, to kill when it should be used to heal, is unacceptable.
