That the Death Penalty Should Be Abolished in 50 States
The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment says, Cruel and Unusable; Drugs and the Death Penalty on November 2nd, 2013 by Stacey Alesi, states that drugs from compounding pharmacies could be impure or the wrong potency, they might cause the condemned man to suffer as he dies. Which is why we argue with today’s resolution that death penalty should be abolished in 50 states. The value that we have chosen to uphold today’s debate is Life. Life is the active principal of physical existence. That which separates a dead being from that is still alive. This value supports my case because it’s a violation of human dignity. Our first argument from, Books Reveal Human Cost of Capital Punishment on October 11th, 2013 by Colman McCarthy, states that it’s time for the U.S to follow this trend: The death penalty is a fundamental flawed public policy that has outlawed any usefulness it may once have had. For example: only some states use the death penalty, the same crime is punished differently depending on where it occurs. Our second argument from, Should the Death Penalty be abolished? The Supreme Court has Increasingly Restricted the use of Capital Punishment on October 7th, 2013 by Diann Rust-Tierney and Joshua Marquis states that death penalty trials and appeals are so lengthy, it can take years before executions are carried out, burdening taxpayers with huge costs. Of the more that 3,100 people now on death row in the U.S, hundreds have been there more than 20 years and many are not close to execution. For example: sentences are available to punish the guilty and keep our communities safe. Taxpayer dollars could be better spent on crime prevention and to support those harmed by violence. It’s time for the U.S to join the international community by abandoning this medieval form of punishment. Now that we have told you why our value of Life
