So you'd be happy for a judge to decide if something is worth killing someone for?
Absolutely. Im more than happy for a judge to decide someone of the ilk of the Ian Huntleys and Mick Philpotts of this world to be killed for the crimes they commited.
Im not endorsing we start killing every petty criminal but the ones who have been locked away for life because their crimes are deemed so bad. Get rid of them. Serves no purpose to pay to keep them alive.
.
Did the children Mick Philpott killed, his own children, get a say in wether they were worth killing or not?
But if he was dead he wouldn't even be aware of anything, isn't that the easy way out?
I think my main argument with it is in an ideal world with fair people giving fair judgements on criminals that were 100% guilty it could work. Unfortunately many people are wrongly convicted and poeple in power are often corrupt. As well as the fact it isn't a deterrant and is more expensive than life in prison it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
That's without the unconciou bias that means poorer people are more likely to be convicted of a crime.
