Capital gain

In today 's society should the death penalty still be acceptable? In my honest opinion, I do not think the death penalty should still be legal. Morally and in my faith, I do not see how twelve people on a single jury and the final confirmation of the judge should seal the fate of a person. I see value in all life, so if the person on trial did something so vile, so violent, they should just sit in their cell to think about what they have done. Death is too easy; if the prosecution team in the…

YES I will argue that being dead will not be bad for the person who dies. I will do so by first constructing the Epicurean approach to the badness of the state of death with several minor clarifications, before highlighting the inadequacies of standard anti-Epicurean arguments operating with counterfactual theories of harm in refuting Epicurus when his argument is interpreted within the parameter of death as a state. Additionally, as Epicureanism’s break with commonsense values is often what…
