    name has been given but that it is simply just a “death chamber…filled with gas”, which almost makes the killer seem like they are sub-human. This I presume was to ensure the reader felt sorry for the camera man himself as he has to witness the state murder someone whom it considers has no value.

    Koop 4 punishment is an “inhumane and impermissible device to foster vengeance.” The Pope said that he speaks the thoughts that the lord has given him, and so said, “every life is sacred, every human person is endowed with an inalienable dignity, and society can only benefit from the rehabilitation of those convicted of crimes.” The Pope doesn’t beat around the bush and gets straight to the point of subjects which are seen as taboo or impolite conversation, thusly sparking debate over the death…

    “Some critics of capital punishment, such as columnist Jimmy Breslin, have suggested that a life sentence is actually a harsher penalty for murder than death.’ This is sophistic nonsense” (Koch 486). Koch disagrees with Jimmy Breslin, because he is not convinced that a life sentence in prison is harsher than an execution. While Koch sees a person convicted for murder being executed, Bruck’s idea is to make sure that the convicted murderer has proof of either being guilty or innocent. Bruck…

    “Crimes against humanity” In Abby Mann’s play, Judgment at Nuremberg readers ask themselves if Janning really should be charged with crimes against humanity. Was he in fact the most cruel and devastating murderer and torturer, this world has ever seen? Or was he just doing his job for the love of his country? Jannings may have done what he thought was for the love of his country, but he most certainly committed crimes against humanity. Tragedies like the one that happened in Germany has…

    The death penalty may be an extreme measure, however, death may be the correct way to deal with extremely dangerous convicts. The death penalty may be cruel and inhuman, even so, if someone were to murder multiple civilians or commit a massive massacre, more than likely, no one would object to the execution.
