Pro-life or pro-death sentence?

I am not for capital punishment. I did not give the life. I cannot take it either.

Hi staria, You can be sure of one thing, we do not have the right to take another person's life. Capital punishment is always wrong, no matter what the crime. Bringing in capital punishment will not lower the crime rate, in fact it would probably make it worse as has been shown over and over again. Blessings.

I am pro-life and I don't want someone to be killed or someone to die due to some reasons of the law... But sometimes we look into gravity of the crimes being committed and the victims right...I think let the sentence being carried out not to killed the criminal beyond his/her sentences

I am pro life, without any doubt. It is not because I believe in being humane, it is because I think we are letting these criminals get away with maybe some pain. They should be made to pay for all they have done and suffer what they have done, bit by bit, year by year for as long as they live.

Pro-life as life is a precious sacred gift from God.. we live our lives, make choices and decisions that seem to determine the kind of life we want to live, and the outcome of which would result to some dire consequences if there is no guidance and blessing from Him... but even if we commit mistakes i.e. to commit crime, there should always be a chance to realize and learn from these...

I was on a jury trial here in Illinois for the first case to be tried for the electric chair years ago. It was quite an experience for me and one that I would have never volunteered to be in. Due to my ignoring jury duty, I was summons and sort of forced to be on this. I have to say the 7 1/2 weeks that the trial lasted was the most scariest feeling ever, to learn about the heinous crimes and types of people involved. It is quite puzzling to be one of the people to determine the future of a person and one I would not wish my worst enemy to be part of. I was crossed between whether a yes or no vote because I can't imagine being responsible for ending someone's life, on the other hand the person was not a good person per se either. So fortunately for me of the jurors when it was my turn to state which route 3 others had already said no, so I never had to say yes, or no. Sometimes I feel that if the crime fits perhaps ending their life suits, but I am human too and don't know if I could be responsible for the decision. Still to date it is puzzling to me to have to make this sort of decision. Glad that I have not had to again, and keeping my fingers crossed that I don't ever have to because I really do not know which route to decide on something like this. I suppose if the crimes fit then the person does not deserve to live, and all I think about is a person sitting in prison enjoying life while their victims no longer can be breathe.. as yet this is difficult for me to be a decision maker.

I am in favor of capital punishment for specific crimes, murder being the most obvious. But before we execute someone, I want to be absolutely positive the individual did the crime. I'm not sure that capital punishment will or will not reduce the crime rate, but my position isn't founded on that premise anyway.

If you try to see it in a Christian way yes a fellow human being is never given a right to take away life. If you try to see it in another point it would discourage criminal acts and would it may decline the criminal cases because these certain people are killed and cannot do more harm to others. let this serve as a lesson for all that do not do something that you know you will regret in the future.

??? }?????? ??? ?? ???? ????? ???? ?????????? why chinese hates filipinos that much? i don't understand! regardless of what a person did to his fellow, only God has the right to take another life!

on ethical and moral grounds, its always pro-life. human decisions shouldn't end another human life. lets give those people another chance, there are always second chances.
