The Death Penalty: For or Against? Much has been said about the sanctity of human life. The gift of life is a privilege bestowed upon us. Even though each life may travel different roads‚ encounter different experiences‚ there is one fact that binds all life together: we only live once. The quality of life‚ however‚ is a variable factor that is sometimes beyond our mortal means of control. It is undeniable‚ though‚ that everyone is entitled to an equal shot at the many chances life presents to

Dear Kate Green‚ In PSHE we were studying death penalties in the world. All of the students had different opinions on why we should have or why we shouldn’t have it like it is now in the UK. In this case my opinion is to keep it how it is and not punish criminals with death penalties. I would like to keep the law with no death penalties in the UK.

Death Penalty Controversy When first asked the question whether or not we should have the death penalty here in the U.S. I thought there was nothing wrong with it. When criminals do heinous crimes within society I feel like the punishment they are given is well deserved.
