In the interests of stimulating emotion I ask is there a case for capital punishment?
If we have a dog that bites a child it will be put down..the dog unfortunately does not understand how it has offended human norms.
Yet if we have a nasty person torture and kill a child knowing that is evil and the expectations of the society are outraged we say we must rehabilitate that human.
We put down the dog because it must have within its genes a propensity to attack yet we see no merit in eliminating evil genes from the human race.. I find that curious.
Why not put the dog in for retraining and put down the human evil doer.
I have no views..do you
