Do you believe we should sentence children or handy-cap people to death?
I think we should if they mean it what they've got guilty of.
The problem is that many found guilty turn out to be not guilty. And many found "guilty" in fact were not culpable in the crime. And many more found guilty are not a threat to society.
This is a social issue.
The death penalty has been abolished by just about every civilized country with the exception of the US.
Can anybody name a developed or civilized country which still uses the death penalty???
Not true reiny:

According to the sources I found, Japan is the only industrialized nation to retain the death penalty. The map in the above web site seems to be out-of-date as the U.K., Australia and Canada do not currently have the death penalty.
