    Reinstatement of Capital Punishment CLN4UI Capital punishment gets a bad reputation by those arguing that killing is inherently wrong. Such a view is very subjective due to personal morals. Killing is always personal. But is it always evil? Putting down a rabid dog is not evil. Beings are not what their bodies are‚ so should sick dogs be put down for being sick? You could argue that putting down a sick body is merciful‚ but what about putting down one with a sick mind? What about a “rabid”
