I certainly wouldn't go anywhere near a job like that.
Then the one who putted it in the injection must know it. It's still murder. The law is the law and no one should be exempted with it.
Well unfortunately someone has to be there to pull the switch, or activate something that will inject the lethal dose. Even with any other method, someone has to perform the execution. You can't execute someone without another human's doing.
Yes, that's why I don't agree with death penalty.

Someone has to do the execution, and I'm sure that doesn't feel good. The death penalty is also an easier way out for certain criminals who are completely and absolutely rotten. Tax dollars spent on "humane" executions also go too high. My main reason, however, is that governments shouldn't have control over human life.
It doesn't help that 130 Death Row inmates have been found innocent since 1973.

I don't think that the death penalty should exist. Although I do believe in lifetime prison sentences. The only reason I'm against the death penalty is because innocent people end up on death row a lot of the time.

I think that death penalty is very wrong, for several reasons: it makes somebody else a murderer (I mean the person who has to kill people sentenced to death), there's been multiple cases of innocent people getting a death penalty, it's more of a revenge and a way to satisfy people's disturbing bloodlust than an actual penalty.
That kind of criminals that would be sentenced to death would end up with a life sentence anyway, so it's not like death penalty is protecting us from dangerous criminals; they wouldn't get out of prison anyway.

This is a tricky question. First of all I would like to say: when you think of certain crimes and the criminals committing them, the first thought on most peoples mind is: "That is horrible, they should die!"
I believe the same as most, However, the death penalty has become (dare I say... easy?)
If someone rapes a child, or torments someone I believe they shouldn't die quick and easy, they need to suffer like the victims they hurt.
That being said, I don't think that jail is as scary as it used to be. Some jailmates live better than those on the streets.
We need to come up with a torture method, for criminals that deserve it. Don't give them free health care, food or an easy death.
