Death penalty - human (?) aspect

Abstract

This article deals with the death penalty. The definition of the death penalty seems somehow inadequate when it is compared to the crime. It is a paragon of situational ethics, and solid moral arguments are slim. But, the facts against the death penalty are less vague. Concrete examples of false convictions, unnecessary pain, and barbaric practices can be found in this article. Due to the imperfect nature of human behavior, no human entity possesses the arbitrary ability to end the life of another human being.
