Eye For An Eye An Eye for and Eye Many people feel there is nothing wrong with a convicted murderer to receive the death penalty. Society is made to believe, if you do the crime, then you deserve the proper punishment. I on the other hand strongly disagree. Opposition to the death penalty does not arise from sympathy for convicted murderers. I believe murder demonstrates a lack of respect for human life. For this reason, murder is intolerable and any policy of state authorized killings is immoral. Executions give society the unmistakable message that human life no longer deserves respect, especially when it is use by the courts in terms of punishment. An eye for an eye is a relic of the earliest days of penology, when slavery, branding and other corporal punishments were ordinary. Like those barbaric practices listed, the death penalty has no place in a civilized society. We need to move on and abolish capital punishment, similar to those of the past. The courts use capital punishment in terms of taking a life for a life, but what exactly does that show society, is it alright to commit murder, if the courts society, punishment, death, penalty, life, eye, crime, courts, convicted, capital, violent, policy, murder, human, without, terms, severe, respect, punishments, possibility, people, parole, new, murderer, law, kill, justice, inhumane, imprisonment, humane, homicide, far, deter, cruel, criminal
