With Objections: The Death Penalty

Debate Information

With Objections: The Death Penalty

The Death Penalty also knew as capital punishment still seems up for debate and that is what I will be discussing here. My position will be arguing against it for which I will provide reasons. In addition to that, I will also be exploring common rebuttals and will, in turn, give my objections to those rebuttals.


To my knowledge, there is no court in the world that is based on deductive reasoning; it's all inductive which allows the possibility of the conclusion to be false, even though there may very well be strong premises to support the conclusion. As a result of this reasoning, many innocent people have been sentenced to death in the past. If it was based on deductive reasoning such as the case with mathematics then we can be assured with complete certainty that there is no possibility of the conclusion being false. A common response to this is that nowadays, due to good forensic investigations and evidence gathering, it is highly unlikely that someone would be found guilty now. This is true, however, the possibility of an innocent human life being put to death here is a valid objection. This might technically be an appeal to the possibility but here we are dealing with much more complex things such as deciding the fate of another human. Another thing a person might say here is that there are times when people are caught red-handed and this is a very strong objection. However, in these cases, my other reasons would be more applicable as to why the Death Penalty should abandon.

Furthermore, Once a supposed perpetrator has been executed that does nothing to take back what the supposed perpetrator has done. A demurral to this point might be that this is a subjective notion. However, many things in life are subjective but that doesn't necessarily affect the validity of the argument being made. Also, it must not be ignored that people can be subjective over objective things and vice versa. Moreover, to some, the Death Penalty might bring about a burden of relief. I will, however, contend that this feeling of relief is nothing short of an illusion. From another subjective point of view, once the supposed perpetrator has been executed they are then at peace, while the victims continue to suffer. In this case, it could be considered that sentencing the perpetrator to death is too kind.

In In addition to the above, the Death Penalty hasn't really proven to be a good deterrent either in the past or in modern-day. Now, someone may protest this by saying that the more brutal the Death Penalty is the more likely it is to be a deterrent. However, it can be observed in the modern-day as well history showing us that how brutal a Death Penalty is hasn't/doesn't have much effect on violent crime. There are lots of countries and/or states across the globe already with the Death Penalty where Violent Crime remains higher in comparison to other countries without the Death Penalty and where violent crime is much lower.


Further to the above, a misconception about the Death Penalty is that the Christian faith favors it. In actuality, several common Christian denominations have argued against it, at least in recent times.

Today, the Catholic Church does not agree with the death penalty, as it goes against the commandment not to kill (Exodus 20:13). In addition, Catholics believe that life is a gift from God, therefore God alone has the power to take life.

Today, in fact, as a consequence of the possibilities which the state has for effectively preventing crime, by rendering one who has committed an offence incapable of doing harm--without definitively taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself--the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity are rare, if not practically non-existent. Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z9c4srd/revision/8
Having said that, the appeal to God, Faith, Heaven or spirituality does not make for good arguments regarding the Death Penalty anyway.


Another common dissent to the argument against the Death Penalty is that the Death Penalty should be for those who have committed the most heinous crimes and that the Death Penalty should be brutal too in this case. The problem here is that this is about vengeance; not about justice. An individual's motive for revenge should not be a representation of the judicial system. In addition to that, if we advocate that we want the most brutal Death Penalty for these perpetrators then we cannot say that we're any different from the perpetrators themselves.

In conclusion, this thread has involved exploring reasons for being against the Death Penalty and common objections to those. It has then, in turn, dealt with those objections. Several reasons for being against the Death Penalty have been because of it being a weak deterrent to violent crime, the supposed burden of relief is a subjective notion and one that I find to be nothing more than an illusion of relief. In addition that there still exists the possibility which I contend is valid since we are dealing with the fate of other human lives that are currently in our hands. And lastly, an individual's motive for revenge is not and should not be representative of the judicial system.

  • MayCaesarMayCaesar 6053 Pts   -  
    Not to say that I disagree with your arguments, but I do not think they really counter the arguments of the death penalty supporters. Point by point:
    1. An innocent human may be subjected to many penalties, and full restitution is not really possible - for example, someone who has spent 10 years in prison for alleged murder will never get those 10 years back, and even giving them a trillion dollars as a compensation will not magically turn time around. This is hardly an argument against penalty.
    2. This point you base off the idea of restitution as being the essential component of the system of justice - but many death penalty supporters disagree with this and see system of justice as instead existing solely to punish people for their transgressions. I do not think it is a very practical outlook, but it does exist. As for the sentencing someone to death being too kind, that is not something I can get behind, although I might be valuing my life a bit too much.
    3. That is true, but, again, the purpose of death penalty is not necessarily deterring crime; it could be just serving some version of justice. Such as the Christian justice of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
    Personally, for me the main arguments against death penalty are the following:
    1. Giving the government, or any other human being, legal power to kill captured civilians has many horrible repercussions in the society. Not only does it give the people tools to become tyrants, but it also develops the culture of violence and neglect to human life which can have awful long-term effects on the society.
    2. Ending someone's life against their will is just fundamentally very wrong; we have basic human rights for a reason, and those rights do not magically disappear just because the person has done something terrible. Morally death sentence is abhorrent (it is a subjective argument, but I feel strongly enough about it to use it even in very serious and logical discussions). Normalising such a thing creates a bad precedent in the life of the individuals witnessing it and turns them into a bit of psychopaths; this is what many war veterans reported as well, telling how shooting at fellow human beings permanently changed them to the worse.
    Death penalty is effectively a legalised murder. We already have legalised robbery (taxes) and legalised slavery (prisons); having legalised murder on this list as well is no bueno.

    And in the United States we have 300 Sanctuary Cities, in which those 300 cities are Legalized illegal sanctuaries for those 22 million illegal immigrants to illegally live in amongst the LEGAL US citizens. 

    And when some of those illegal immigrants kill another US citizen, another "death penalty" murder, has been committed, because they're in the United States illegally.

    "Death penalty is effectively a legalised murder."

    "We already have legalised robbery (taxes)"

    If any CITIZEN, has an issue with taxes, then they can get out of the country.

    "and legalised slavery (prisons); having legalised murder on this list as well is no bueno."

    And if any individual is enough to commit a crime like doing illegal drug's, running illegal drug's across the Southern Border, selling illegal drug's, human trafficking, committing sexual assaults, drive by shootings, race on race murder, or non race on race murder, kidnappings, doing illegal drug's, while being a doctor, or a nurse, or doing other professional jobs while under the influence, domestic violence and abuse, then any individual deserves to be treated like a criminal, or an offender, and they deserve, to be in prison, or jail, regardless if some want to view those same prisoners, or criminals, as slaves?

    It's called CLOSURE, when a perpetrator has been executed.

As for the sentencing someone to death being too kind, that is not something I can get behind, although I might be valuing my life a bit too much.

    I understand that there is some subjectivity here. However, when the perpetrator has incarcerated the risk to the public has been mitigated. Incarceration is the lesser of the two evils out of the Death Penalty and imprisonment. As for someone thinking that the Death Penalty is too kind this has nothing to do with someone not valuing their own life. In fact, a victim's relative might feel that the perpetrator should suffer for the rest of their lives in prison; and I have seen some victims' family members on certain documentaries state this very thing.

    1. That is true, but, again, the purpose of death penalty is not necessarily deterring crime; it could be just serving some version of justice. Such as the Christian justice of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
    I think we need to be careful not to conflate justice with vengeance. Revenge often ends up perverting the course of justice. As for the Christian bit I already covered that in the thread. Here it is again:

    Having said that, the appeal to God, Faith, Heaven or spirituality does not make for good arguments regarding the Death Penalty anyway.

    There are also verses about what Jesus Christ himself actually said about this at the time he was alive.

    Personally, for me the main arguments against death penalty are the following:
    1. Giving the government, or any other human being, legal power to kill captured civilians has many horrible repercussions in the society.

    This bit I found to be the best bit of your post. And a large portion of it I agree with such as the bit about human rights, the death penalty is legalized murder and so forth. Also, a lot of it is in allignment with what I said about not being able to justifiably say we are any different from the murderous perpetrators when we are arguing for the exact same thing to be committed upon them; why be like them when we can be better than them?

    I am undecided when it comes to the death penalty. The number of cases of people who were sentenced to death only to be found innocent, or to have not done anything that actually deserves being punished by death is absolutely appalling. That being said, there seems to be people out there who are capable of committing crimes that challenges the reserve of even the most hardened anti-death penalty activists. I look forward to some enlightening observations that may help me to solidify my stance on the death penalty.

    What is with this bizarre mentality that is observed to some degree in virtually all societies: "You do not like something here - then leave"? There is no place on Earth in which I like absolutely everything; where am I supposed to go, to Mars? My disapproval of the taxation system still allows me to live in the US and be happy. Why are you folks so opposed to any criticism? For that matter, you, TKDB, criticise the US all the time, mainly from the position of what Democrats do - you are packing your bags already, I presume?

    I moved here from former USSR, because the US is the place I like the most on Earth; not because it is a perfect paradise with nothing to criticise. After the US I would consider Japan, then Australia, then the UK, then Switzerland and Singapore. If you guys screw up badly here and ruin this country, then to Japan I will be going. ;) But I hope that it does not happen; this is an amazing country, and losing it would be unfortunate.


    @ZeusAres42 ;

    Well, life in prisons is not necessarily suffering; people adapt quickly usually. In fact, some people even thrive in prisons, choosing to pursue arts or sciences (some people even get degrees; there was a story recently about a woman who, as a result of studying while serving a 20 years sentence, managed to enrol in a prestigious PhD program). There are even such extreme examples as Joe Pass, who during his prison sentence started learning playing guitar and proceeded to become one of the most famous jazz guitar players in human history.
    While, if you have been executed, then your life is truly over. Sure, you are not going to suffer, but nor are you going to enjoy nothingness. I personally would find this very undesirable and would rather spend a life in prison than be in a grave.

    I think "justice" and "vengeance" are closely related to each other, to the point where I sometimes use these terms interchangeably. "Justice" implies some form of "retribution", which differs from "vengeance" only in the reasoning, but not in the action. Or perhaps my terminology usage is simply wrong; I am open to be convinced here.

    For your last point, I am not sure how important the part of not being like criminals is. Sometimes using criminals' own weapon against them may be justified, and, depending on the circumstances, it does not necessarily make us like them; for example, snatching a gun of a robber and pointing it at them is mere self-defence and does not necessarily constitute an action morally equivalent to armed robbery.
    That said, implementing a policy that systematically causes people to act in a violent way (and what can be more violent than the act of killing?) against defenseless humans is going to have serious repercussions on the psychological state of the society.

  • @ZeusAres42 ;

    We are looking at a possible complex form of legal malpractice using confusing methods of prejudice. The prejudice is taking place against categories held within a constitution area of states of law. Lethal force and its use is not always a penalty it is a necessity. A person has no greater risk of being sent to death, take part in a sentence of Capital punishment as a Juror, or sharing in any blames of wrongful imprisonment than being killed, and or murdered in the public.

    I could, but we are talking about your position, not theirs. An act of killing certainly does not seem to be pro-life to me, regardless of the reasons behind it. You could argue that you kill people in order to save other people's lives, but that would not be "pro-life" with no strings attached; that would be something like "pro-taking-life-to-save-another-life".

    Not to mention that executing a prisoner does not actually save any innocent people's lives. The prisoner is only a threat to other prisoners, who, according to you, do not deserve to live anyway, so what does executing someone accomplish?

    Dee asked TKDB to explain again how a death penalty is pro-life. Capital Punishment is not a death penalty it is the use of lethal force. A prejudice is taking place against a united state as it relates to law and constitution.

    The question you ask does not address your grievance, Dee. The appropriate question is how does Capital punishment favor life? It does so by removing the idea any death set by murder is a penalty and not a punishment of last resort to stop all possible future recurrence.

    Your question is meant to be asked of a convicted killer, not the voting public.

    **** Capital Punishment is not a death penalty 


    capital punishment
    noun
    1. the legally authorized killing of someone as punishment for a crime.
      "the abolition of capital punishment"

    Right , so putting someone to death is not a death penalty 

    *****it is the use of lethal force. 

    Right , so using lethal force to kill someone is not a death penalty .........Are you and @TKDB related as you’s both say some very things

    **** So that makes the pro anti Death Death penalty supporters hypocrites.

    "Take it up with them then what’s that got to do with what you’ve claimed?"

    So you're not pro Death Penalty, or are?


    ****Because killing a fetus is acceptable, and humane, but executing a murderer is unacceptable and inhumane?

    "Right so you admit killing a fetus is murder so you admit you want the death sentence for women who abort right?"

    @Dee, Did I say that, or are you again trying to put words in my mouth? 


    ****That is the ultimate form of Hypocrisy when it comes to the acceptable killing of a fetus, but the unacceptable execution of a murderer?

    "Again why are you telling me this?
    You’re the one who says you’re pro life so yet again how is asking for the death penalty pro life ? Are you going to keep running or are you going to answer the question?"


    @Dee

    Because I debate through the reality of life and death.

    And you apparently debate based on your individual opinion, and perception?

    Abortion is wrong, and cold blooded murder is wrong.

    But Abortion is apparently viewed as quietly humane, but Execution is viewed as inhumane?

    A Death Row inmates life, is more important than a fetus?

    The politics behind that irrational logic isn't adding up.

    "Also if the death penalty is fair and just you want women who abort sentenced to death don’t you? 

    Bet you run away crying and will refuse to answer."

    @Dee

    I bet your voice in person sounds like an angelic choir, so why would I waste one second of running away from your rhetoric?

    The females who get an abortion, they're the ones making the decision to end an innocent life, thus they get to live with that reality, don't they?

    How many females get an abortion, and then years later, wished that they had kept the baby, because they've passed that point of being able to conceive, and menopause has gained control of their bodies?

    That's why some individuals, or couple's, after they get older, are open to Adoption years later.

    It's easy to abort a fetus, but it's more rewarding to be a nurturing parent, or parents.

  • @Dee ;
    Right , so putting someone to death is not a death penalty 

    No, simply applying Capital Punishment is the most severe action that can take place. A person in the public moves things into their own hands and when attacking another person outside a judicial process the lethal force is a death penalty. The Court has a United State Common defense to the general welfare that is not voiced. You are making an accusation against United State Constitution much like a lawyer might in the argument of sentencing, what is said by Capital punishment is the Courts taking punishment as far as it can be taken, the person who will earn this punishment will never be punished again after this one takes place

    The United States Constitution is starting to law prove there is no life after the receipt of capital punishment, and we will include your findings as precedent till then. The public as the general welfare will not be held as a sacrifice.



  • @TKDB ;
    A fetus's life, a baby's life, a child's life, a parent's life, and any life, in general, is more important than abortion is, and is more important than money is.

    So you are just now coming to grips with the principle as a united state with Pro-life and pro-choice. Both are public claims that any action is for the money. It is hard to believe a rational person would accept either of these options.

    What does that even mean?

    The legal justification for taxation is the Constitutional separation that takes place in a Court of Law. We the people use it to separate ourselves by united state held in the constitution between right and wrong, criminal intention. Death Penalty is an action that is directed towards a target of death by lethal force a political goal for popularity, opinion, or it is the action of a criminal on the public without constitutional equality. Capital punishment is only an action directed toward a goal of final punishment that will need to be given. Last punishment. Saying as clearly as possible a jury is not involved in any way, by any way, by any legal teams ever, having them the jury only take part in the outcome of a trial. Capital Punishment last punishment guaranteed to end after issued by the court.

    This would be a state of the union address.

    What a lawyer does to present the idea of justice is not a state of this union it is part of their practice and theirs alone.
