This is a very emotional topic for many people and is the source of many argumants.

As for me, I don't like the idea of capital punishment. I feel it is a failure of the human condition. Sometimes people are on death row incorrectly. Some state governors in the usa have had the courage to temporarily stop this system citing frequent errors in getting people to death row.

Some will also cite the racial and economic bias in the judicial system as to who gets to death row. This is worth looking at also.

No body has that right.

There is definitely no mechanism for review of guilt or innocence after someone has been killed, but does the murderer “really” deserve a death penalty?
I have wondered that for a while.

Fast question:
Millions of innocent people's DNA is stored in the national police database, I see this as an Invasion of privacy which generalizes an entire population to be potential criminal, rather than regular law-binding people.

What do you think?

at the moment the current system for punishment need lot of changes. how do you punish someone who took away other person life? i really don't know. but certainly not by taking the life again. i like the idea of "Minority Report". preventing the crime before it occurs. but it sounds too much like science fiction.

The whole point of DNA is some kind of bad scientific experiment. you cannot expect the DNA of the criminal in all crime scenes. its all about scaring the people... and i believe its never going to work.

as for the privacy is concerned, we really don't have one. it might seem that every one living their own private life. but the truth is if the government want to put someone or the entire country on watch they do it ruthlessly.

all we could do is forget about everything and do what we love to do.

Crime has not come down because of death penalty.
