death penalty
Has it ever crossed your mind that if you were sentenced to the death penalty, it would be fair to have your life taking away? The death penalty is a very sensitive topic which I would like to discuss. In my opinion taking someone's life is very foul and my essay will be very bias against the death penalty. Money, morality, and deterrence are the main factors in which I disagree with the death penalty; Unnecessary money is being misused, causes conflicts amongst religions, and has not proved to be effective.
The death penalty is a subject that has been overlooked since the eighteen century B.C. The cost for executing is one of the main reasons many are apposed to it. According to, ProCon.org it costs more to execute someone rather than keep them in jail for life. Approximately, it costs around 2 million dollars a case as apposed to 1 million for life in prison. Execution is paid through tax payers, which is another reason why multitude of people disagree with it. If the money is being spent on executions, why not instead help those whom have been affected by the crime?
Religion also plays a big role in executions. Capital punishment goes against almost every religion, although it is allowed amongst many religions. Christianity is one of the few religions which is pro-choice. Stated by The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints, "we neither promote nor oppose capital punishment". At variance from Buddhism, the first step to joining the religion requires individuals to abstain from injuring or killing all living creatures. Therefore, religion is always involved.
Deterrence is also a major factor in the death penalty. Some would say its common sense for someone to fear death, leading to less crime and murder. But scientific studies fail to show that executions are more affective than prison in life. Also, there have been many cases in which the individual that is executed has later been proven to be innocent. There has been 34 cases in the U.S., from
