Capital Punishment 9

Capital Punishment Capital punishment should not be reintroduced into Australia or any other country. Capital punishment is a merely another name for legally killing people and no one, not even the State, has the authority to play God.

It is immoral, inhumane and it is not an effective deterrent for killers. Human life is precious and I think the fact that it was abolished in the first place speaks for its self. "The law of capital punishment while pretending to support this reverence, does in fact tend to destroy it."
