the USA executes prisoners at record levels.
Can we pose the same questions and judgements against the USA and other nations that have capital punishment.
Australia also had capital punishment until about 50 years ago. (and many of the people executed were Indigenous Australians, even though they were not recognised as people until 1967.)
This issue is even more complex when we look in the mirror.
How many civilians have died in wars carried out by western nations?
Do we value life in a morally universal way, or are we to be selective and hypocritical? Saudi Arabia carried out several dozen beheading executions in public streets just in one month last year.
