The question asks not for a factual description but for a moral judgment—whether the death penalty is right, just, or acceptable—so it is a value question. Answers depend on ethical principles (e.g., retribution, deterrence, human rights), cultural beliefs, and individual values rather than on purely empirical facts; evidence about effects can inform the debate but cannot by itself settle the normative claim.
