Death Penalty

Death penalty (Does the state have the right to kill another person?)

According to virtue ethics, the state does not have the right to kill another person. Virtue ethic’s states that its role of character is based in guiding moral choices. This philosophy believes that its not moral to kill a person because everyone deserves a second chance. I totally disagree with the death penalty imagine yourself n the shoes of a thief who wants to regret its sin and collaborate with the community, why should people take his life? Many people do wrong things that later regret and shouldn’t be punished so drastically. These people should receive punishments that will later help the society or the environment. For example they could have social work hours by helping to clean the city or helping people in need. The death penalty can be somehow harsh and threatful to the life of human beings. Many times the police or investigators don’t have enough information to declare you guilty, but in the end they are the ones with the power. So if you are declared guilty and penalized with a life sentence, do you think death penalties are fair and equally applied to everyone? It’s not morally correct to take away someone’s life, after all only God has that power. I strongly believe that the people that sentence someone to the death penalty may some how be wrong, because everyone makes mistakes. Who says someone has the exact capacity to declare somebody guilty. A man should not be granted such powers, for the feeling of invincibility is threatening to not only the person, but to humanity as a whole. People are simple humans that make wrong but also have feelings. The feeling of guilt is a strong punishment for a starters. Killing someone is not giving the person an opportunity to really redeem themselves and pay for their mistakes.
