An Infallible Penalty Based on Fallible People
The death penalty is defined as execution by hanging , firing squad, lethal injection, asphyxiation (to eradicate by inadequate oxygen) or electrocution. This is one of most controversial human issues of our time. It is a policy that does not take into account the imperfection of the legal system (human beings in general), which implicates cruel and unusual punishment and exemplifies moral unjustness. For these three primary reasons, the abolishment of this policy is warranted.
