No, because nothing gives the right for a human being to decide whether another human being lives or dies

@9J46KB212mos12MO
Only in very rare cases, when there is undeniable proof from a years-long investigation. Too many innocent people suffered from the death penalty.
@9JR2TMZ11mos11MO
no, for the sake of life. Also the truth are sometimes found after the death and there is no going back
@9WQCZRQ2mos2MO
Yes, but with very strict regulations. Should only be for repeat offenders of horrific crimes, and without doubt have committed the crime and show no remorse.
@9D67HJZ1yr1Y
For heinous crimes remove human rights and send to forced labour camps for the term of their natural life to repay society.
@8ZFQ6X63yrs3Y
No, no one should be able to take another persons life. Murder and the death penalty are basically the same.
@9DXR7GG1yr1Y
No because institutions don’t have the right to murder either
