should people who are sentanced to death be hung or just put to sleep?

Think about this. Some individual has actually chosen, as a job, a role in life which involves killing people. Now, the person carrying this out, will not have been hurt in any way by his intended victim. Morally, is this person any better than the person he is about to kill in cold blood? Would he still do it if it was a member of his own family? In principle, he should. If not, why not? \n\nTo get to your question, hanging is more graphic, and may entertain/ frighten the sick/morbid audience. Lethal injection involves a different sort of sickness in that it mimics a medical procedure, therefore, it is easier for the sick/morbid audience to endure.\n\nFin, your not a christian, you would be one of the sick/morbid onlookers.

Woo hoo what a nutter! \nFollowing ur logic(!)if someone who is subsequently found to be INNOCENT is tortured to death (oops), then the people responsible should also be tortured. I notice u didnt include murderers in ur little rant or did u just forget to include them? U really should be sectioned and placed in a secure unit for everybodys safety. If anyone could be called 'evil' heres its u!

If murder is wrong, then how can states justify murdering the murderer? I think in some cases some criminals deserve to die...however I believe that is too easy of a punishment...I believe they should just be locked in a small, windowless room with a hole in the floor to use the bathroom for the rest of their lives.No excercize...no tv...no mail..no human contact at all...bread and water to sustain them, but nothing more...let them die alone in a dark room and then burn the body.

It is just the sentence. His case will automatically go on appeal, it could take a long, long time before the hanging

As evil as it makes me sound...I agree with you.  I really think we should take any and all repeat offenders and put them on an island and let them kill eachother.  It'd be cheaper and less labor intensive than rehabilitation or the death penalty.  No matter what, I don't think these individuals shoud be allowed to live, it's just a waste of money and a threat to society.\nAs far as the mentally handicapped, I agree.  I think it's really a part of natural selection and evolution.  These people are the weaker links, and you're right, in nature they would be picked off, so why do we waste so much money and resources trying to let them live when most of them don't have the mental capacity to recognize what we're doing.  \nSo, I agree that it would be logical to put these people down.  However, ethically I think most people would have a problem with what esentially boils down to murder... if only everyone else bothered to think like us

They should be found guilty on Thursday and executed on Friday.. You start killing them faster, criminals would think twice before doing something that will put them in that position.  Our laws in America are to laid back.  Kill 'em all immediatly..

Yes.  However, we need to be certain of the condemned man's guilt.  The "reasonable doubt" bit is ok to send him to jail, but not to kill him.  \nLife without parole?  OK fair enough, but to put a 30 year old man in a cage and tell him we'll never let him out is just cruel....I think it's actually merciful to put him to death.

Yes serial killers and others should be put to death as fast as possible. I think that if everyone  knew that if they killed someone and were convicited that they would suffer the same faith, death that there would be a whole lot less murder in our society. I think people would think twice before killling someone if they knew they would die.

I want to say I believe.  As a matter of fact most of my life I was the strongest supporter of the death penalty....UNTIL\n\nUnlike some of the other people who have posted to this question....I have first hand experience to what happens when you are incarcerated.  \nThere is no internet, gym, phone time, lounge time....\nMost inmates get limited 10 minute calls once a week to people who are on their call list.....NO INTERNET......, NO GYM, lounge time is confined to your bunk....which usually doesn't even have a pillow.  Showers are with others and you crap in front of the guards.  \nOh and death row inmates or lifers get worse than that.  \nAll you have in prison is time to think.  What could be worse than your mind killing you slowly.  Every day you have to think about what you did, the people you lost and/or affected.  Day in and day out....memories, thoughts.....that is a slow horrible death.....and that is what they deserve.  Every day to live with the consequence of what they did.\nThat is MY complete torture....but I can't honestly say that if something was to happen to my children TOMORROW and they arrested the person who did it....that I wouldn't want him to die and know he was in the ground.  BUT...what I am trying to say is slow, mental death....is PURE TORTURE.\n\nJust my thoughts though.

Can i get an AMEN to that.\nKill all the little Bugg*rs.\n\nActually, better than that, NO PRISON OR EXECUTION.\n60 MINS with the parents of the child in a room with no exits, and then he is free, or dead.

a better punishment would be to lock him up for life in solitary confinement in a maximum security prison in an undisclosed location. There he could spend the rest of his days dwelling on his crimes and be judged by god when he dies. It would be worse to spend 25 years in solitry confinment than to be gone.

Well if he was in a hole like Saddaam, I would "accidentally" drop a bunch of food and water down there, and then "accidentally" cement the opening so that it could never be opened again. We'll let him spend a little time down there thinking about what he REALLY believes. Sounds cruel? It's better than killing him, and better than putting him in jail where someone could help him to escape and plan another attack. I personally would not have any problem with lopping off is head, but I don't think I'll be his judge. Money is no reward either.

Yes, anyone who kills themself should be executed.  Not only that, they should be made to pay to clean up the mess.

not to hang, that would be "the easy way out". he should suffer for what he did, stay in prison for a life time.

Whoever he is deserves death...

Yes, we should.  It costs a lot more of our hard earned tax dollars to keep a person alive in prison by feeding and clothing him than by executing him.  Prison life has gotten way too easy.  They get tv, computers, and education and all for a horrible crime.  By executing them, its a quick zap and they are no longer a burden to anyone.

As an Islamic rule, if the doctors rule that the person is in a vegetative state or brain dead, the nearest relative can allow the plug to be pulled.\n\nPersonally, I think I'm religious and I wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice their time, house and savings to keep me alive for a few more days, weeks or months.  But then again, that's my personal wish.\n\nMay Allah never put anyone in this situation and help those who are facing it now.  Ameen.
