DEATH PENALTY: YES OR NO?

By JAIME MUÑOZ #BTO2A

Nowadays, death penalty is a very controversial topic.

There are still 58 countries where this penalty remains. However, some people are against it. Personally, I believe that death row shouldn't be legal; I think that it isn't ethical considering that we shouldn't teach people not to kill by killing them.

Furthermore , it can be possible to sentence somebody to death who isn't guilty; in fact, it has already happened.

On the whole, I think everybody should have the right to live although they are criminals. If I had to make a choice, I would establish life imprisonment sentences as the biggest legal punishment, with those people alive staying in a prison for their lifetimes.

I truly believe that is the fairest thing to do.
