Should Canada have the death penalty again ?

[cranky]

I would agree that not all prisoners that deserve to stay in jail for the rest of their life deserve to be put to death.

With that said, I like the idea of capital punishment for murderers that were convicted with hard scientific evidence AND eye witnesses.

If we hold strictest standards to what kind of criminal will be put to death, then I have no problems with it.

There is a point where the persons that are crying "boo hoo hoo, we might get this wrong" have simply refused to look at the evidance and the crime.

Im not so sure that it would be for them. the people that are in favor of the death penalty don't like the SOBs, we could care less what they think.

It's clearly not an effective deterrent is what I'm saying.

Ooooooooooh, have any of them climbed out of the grave to reoffend? :lol:

not everything that we do to a criminal is intended to be an effective deterrent. for example The anal examination

Anal examination ? Do you possibly mean search ?

The only crime for which I would support capital punishment would be sexual abuse of children.

The problem with capital punishment is that our 'justice' system has shown, over and over again, that it is prone to error and abuse.
I cannot justify executing innocent people because the police are either incompetent, lazy, or hate them.

I agree with Ten ! Theres to many variables that can lead an inocent man to his death. Before I would suport the death penalty and that would be for the taking of a human life (exept in the case of self defence) or for child molesters I would want my goverment to creat an independent investigating office that would have the power to investigate anyone from Judge to a police officer and any office suspected of coruption.Including Goverment coruption.
I wouldnt want a system like the Americans who can be on death row for 10 years befor they die.

Do his last two hundred sentences make any sense at all? :lol:

Yours? No.

It still isn't preventing or deterring crime. Psychotic murderers, gangsters, and people simply down on their luck and desperate to earn some money, these people don't give a **** about the death penalty.

Utterly primitive the idea of a Canadian death penalty.

Montreal Neurological Institute is the most advanced in the world; one of those things not wise to spread around.

I'll get into the history if you want, but they're experienced enough to do things like:

- Wire up a person's brain to subjectively experience the effects of what they did.

-- If subject experiences remorse, then send them through the rehabilitation system.

-- If subject does not experience remorse then...

And that's where I stump.

By all the rules of evolution and natural selection it should be killed, so what do we do and how do we handle it on a social level?

Make a law where the family of the one killed gets to kill it or, because they are too human to kill, choose to stick it into a *true* prison, where it is kept alive until it dies?

In the latter case, do we make it like a tank in which it floats while being fed oxygen and nutrients and knockout drugs until it dies?

If that's the french suggestion, then I would suggest how given it has been put into an uterine state, experiments be allowed to see if we can de-differentiate it back into an embryo, in order to be an embryo again.
