PORTFOLIO 17. Arguments and Counterarguments: Capital Punishment.


Jeremy Irons gives arguments and counterarguments against death penalty. They will be developed in the following chart. 


For
Against
Some countries execute people who were under 18 years old when the crime was committed, others use the death penalty against people with mental and intellectual disabilities and several others apply the death penalty after unfair trials
Death penalty is not a deterrent of crime and it is irreversible.
A person who murders other one deserve to die. Any single person must be judged by his/her offends.
There are criminals who prefer to live outside of the rules that society sets. These individuals may never be rehabilitated. The death penalty completely eliminates that possibility from the equation
When someone commits a horrific crime capital punishment provides a safety net for the rest of the society. A sentence of death prevents that person from committing another horrific crime. It also reduces the influence that person would have on prison populations.
Death penalty abuses two of the most basic human rights. Everyone has the right to live and no one shall be subject to torture.
Death penalty  tortures physically  by the brutal nature of execution and psychologically by forcing individuals to wait to be killed
Capital punishment laws create space for potential rehabilitation without dealing with issues of prison over-population.
It costs more to implement the death penalty than offer life in prison.
