The death penalty is not justice. By allowing the government and the legal system to decide who lives and dies is bestowing upon them a power not meant for mankind. Family and friends of the victim often say that the death penalty is deserved by the criminal. Deserved? Is justice the motive here, or is it revenge? If death penalty advocates favor executions because they believe justice is being served, would they still be for the death penalty if one of their family members or friends was on death row? It is doubtful.
I believe that man has no right to decide when a life ends. Whether the issue be abortion or the death penalty. Yet, when a murder is committed, someone has decided a life should end. This person should be sentenced to life imprisonment, not execution. Killing this person will not bring back the victim, it will only serve as revenge.
Death penalty advocates have used the economic standpoint to make their case. More inmates means more prisons which means more money. By killing a good share of murderers, we can save money! So, we are putting a price on a human life? By this rational, we should execute ALL convicts and have NO prisons! Think of the money we would save!
Why do we have the death penalty? Officially, it is to protect society from these criminals. However, a criminal who is behind bars for the rest of his or her life can do no harm to society. Besides, in my opinion, to live with guilt and a future consisting of a small prison cell for the rest of one's life is the worst punishment. If the government is committing legalized murder, and "...murder is a serious crime that should be given the ultimate punishment, death," then we are forced to regard the government as a higher being, not subject to the laws that govern it's own people.
