hiii there...it has been a long time!!!hmmm....today i am here to write on a matter that was or is i believe still a controversial subject and i hope to pick your brain on this.Knowledge grows with sharing.Well..the question is should death be a punishment for crime under the law?do we have the right to take away life even if itz for a serious crime?This is definetely not a religious moral science class on life....so please dont run away.I feel compelled to write on this issue in the light of the execution of
Teresa Louis.She , a middle aged lady from Virginia,US was executed a day ago by lethal injection.She was charged for conspiring and murdering her husband and stepson.She got 2 men to do the job for her and they have been jailed too.She was assessed by a psychiatrist and her IQ is 72 which is just 2 points above the legal minimum for being termed as low IQ to be convicted.Her last words were"i am sorry".We all do mistakes,small and big.Some can be forgiven and others cannot be.Well, i do agree that crimes ought to be punished and justice have to be delivered.But i dont see how taking a life can serve justice.The person dies remorseful or not without a chance to reform or realize the horrifc nature of his act.I believe that people are not born criminals but they become due to circumstances,selfish desires or living style.The ones that have personality or psychotic disorders need to be treated and reformed.There is evidence both for and against that criminals can be reformed.But the idea is that when a person is
sentenced to death ,it is important to give them a chance to change to a better person .This subject deserve more discussion and dialogue as it is a matter of life and death.Sentencing a person to death being lawful is an irony in itself!!!! what bell does it ring for you????
