[|Death Penalty]

1.) The United state is still debating whether the death penalty is moral or not. A capital punishment trial costs $1,000,00 and to actually execute the accused it costs 3,000,00. Some states are arguing that not only is the death penalty immoral but its bringing down the economy. 15 states have already demolished the death penalty but there are still 35 states that take capital punishment into consideration. 2.) The author doesn't really seem to have an opinion but seeming as the author is only highlighting the cons of the death penalty rather than the pros I would say he is more against capital punishment than for it. 3.) Yes, I agree with the author. The death penalty is wrong, not only because you are taking the life of another human being but also because you are taking there life for revenge. Its hypocritical to kill someone because you find it wrong that they killed someone else. Executioners are the ultimate murderers because they kill person after person in front of their friends, their family's, and complete strangers and no one questions their actions. If you would take someones life because they took someone else's than your just as bad as them. You're hurting their loved ones and your saying that they should die, your murdering them just by saying yes. You can save their lives and their loved ones from suffering just by simply saying no. 4.) In the text it says that "In March 2009, New Mexico officially abolished the death penalty. Gov. Bill Richardson, a former supporter of capital punishment, signed the bill into law and referenced evidence that the state had previously executed convicts who were innocent. " That is one of the many reasons capital punishment is wrong because there is always the possibility that the person you are coldbloodedly murdering could be innocent. 5.) 4me.sweetsearch.com
