Death penalty shoud be Forbidden

1. Death Penalty (Does the state have the right to kill another person?)

Killing another person is an extremely difficult decision. You are not killing an animal, a tree or any other living thing but, you are killing a human’s life. Of course killing any other living thing is significant because it has life and deserves to live but it will never be that significant as the life of a person. In my opinion killing a person is not good. Some countries in the world applied as punishment to their criminals the death penalty. It is the toughest punishment that has ever been existed since they take your life away. In my opinion I do disagree with the death penalty as my phher Ghandi. He quotes the following: “By birth I am a Vaishnavite [a follower of Vishnu], and was taught Ahimsa in my childhood [...] In its negative form, it [Ahimsa] means not injuring any living being, whether by body or mind. I may not therefore hurt the person of any wrong-doer, or bear any ill will to him and so cause him mental suffering." Ghandi says that he was taught since birth a type of religion named Ahimsa which is perhaps and Hindu tradition. This means not to hurt anybody in any form. This means physically as well as mental no matter his or her offense. My philosopher and I agree that the state shouldn’t allow death penalty for any reasons. I also think that nobody has the right to take somebody else’s life because of his criminal offense. People should be judged in a different way.
