What do you think about giving murderers a choice of the death penalty or the rest of their life in jail ?

Question

It might stop the people saying the death penalty is wrong if the criminals were given the choice their victims never had?

Answer 1

Don't give them the choice. Their victims weren't given a choice.  

Answer 2

they should have the right to decide..

Answer 3

Offer them the same choice they gave their victims.  

Answer 4

bring back the death penalty.

Whether it's a hanging or injection.

The innocence people should live in peace

without other bad behaviour  

Answer 5

If they have Murdered someone, I'd say they should have no right to decide.

Answer 6

You would give murderers the option that others don't have to humane, painless death.  Furthermore, given the fact that we are now finding out that a fair number of those condemned to death have been wrongly accused, we have to think about who would take advantage of the offer to commit suicide this way.  It wouldn't be the truly guilty; because they would most likely feel no remorese and would live in hope.  It would be those who, despairing at their situation, would want an end to their suffering.  That would most likely be those who were not guilty in the first place.  Sorry, but I hate the death penalty because I think human beings are not God and have no right to play God.  This wouldn't change my view of it.

Answer 7

yes....i think it s a good idea!!!

Answer 8

The death penalty is barbaric. Your crime rate has increased every year since it was reinstated across the country.

So much for deterrence!

Answer 9

I don't agree with them having any decision in any matter...I'm for the lethal injection...
