The death penalty is immoral and barbaric. It punishes the murderer by murder and encourages the spread of violence. Whether the execution method is deadly poison needle or typical, it is cruel and is a first-degree intentional homicide. Do you blame a child for kicking others? What we have learned is that two wrongs don't point to right, and no amount of murder is an appropriate solution.
The death penalty violates American morality and values. The Declaration of Independence states that everyone has an inalienable right to exist. At the same time, the government's responsibility is to protect citizens' lives, but the death penalty takes all this away. The Bill of Rights prohibits cruel and unusual disciplinary measures. So, isn't killing cruel? We are all hypocrites, claiming to fight murder with murder. The message of the death penalty is that murder is acceptable in the United States, and even the government is killing people.
The death penalty can't solve any problems, it will only create more pain and tragedy. The families of condemned prisoners not only have to face the compensation and trial that criminals should bear, but also have to accept the painful fact that their loved ones have passed away. This is especially distressing for those who have been executed innocently. Studies have shown that the death penalty does not delay murder as originally envisaged, but only pushes us into an abyss worse than the original situation.
Many American moral principles are derived from Christian beliefs. The Bible contains many chapters against the death penalty. God has set an example for our way of life. As long as you beg for forgiveness, he will forgive everything and ask you to "forgive all those who have offended us". It is also mentioned in the Bible that we should not take revenge, but when we execute some people, this is exactly what we cannot do. No one should be the first to be killed, and it is equally unreasonable to take killing as punishment.
Among them, the worst consequence of the death penalty is that innocent lives will be deprived. Recently, in Illinois, 13 people on the death list were not proved innocent until the day they were executed. The great pain they suffered is beyond description. Imagine that you have not committed a crime but have been sentenced to death by the government! Ending other people's lives, there is no room for redemption.
The death penalty will not bring positive results. Why put an end to murder? Because we want to take action to abolish the death penalty. Deprivation of life is unreasonable.
