Capital Punishment

"The death penalty is murder and should be abolished." Do you agree?

Death penalty is not considered as murder beacuse murdering someone, to me, is after careful planning and furthermore, the victim did not do anything wrong but by sentencing someone to death, is because the accused had done something against the law and there's no motive behind it. If the accused had done something against the law and is sentenced the death penalty, it means that he had done something grave like drug trafficking and hence he should be responsible for his own actions. Since he know the consequences of doing something against the law, then he is asking for it. Another reason why it is not considered as murder beacuse it brings justice to the victim's family members and poses a threat to society. If the accused had killed someone and is acquitted, then how will the people and the family members think? So, I think the death penalty should not be abolished to serve as a reminder for people to constantly check on their actions and the consequences of it.

On the other hand, the death penalty is considered as murder because a person's life is precious. It should not be taken away just because he had done something wrong. Instead, the accused could be sent for counselling or other things to change his look on life and change him to a better person. Although the accused had done something wrong to be given the death penalty, but by killing him, it does not solve anything or make the victim feel better. Two wrongs do not make a right. Another reason why it is considered as murder because of the cruel froms of execution like the electric chair. Everyone should die in a dignified way and there should not be any forms of cruel execution. Therefore, i think the death penalty should be abolished to a certain extent.

In conclusion, I think that the death penalty should not be abolished because I think without it, people will think that there is no consequence for commiting crimes thus more crimes will be committed and people should be responsible for their actions.
