10 Reasons The Death Penalty Should Be Legal

Should the death penalty be legal?  To listen to some people in favor of the abolition of the death penalty or organizations such as Amnesty International the United States, by executing criminals, stands alongside such countries as China and Saudi Arabia in its barbarity.

Many countries in the world, including most of Europe have rescinded their death penalties.  The decision to do so is often lauded as the choice of a rational, modern, mature and humane society There was a time, in livin

g memory, when there was a moratorium on executions in the United States (see below) but the death penalty was reinstated in 36 states.

Recent problems with botched executions including a 2014 execution by lethal injection that took 1 hour and 40 minutes to take effect, the prisoner in pain all the while, have reopened the debate as to whether the United States should continue to execute prisoners for certain crimes.
