    A lifetime imprisonment is more inhumane than a death sentence.

    Most death row inmates fight for their life all the way until execution. That’s proof enough.

    (If there is enough solid proof ofc. You can’t roll back a death penalty)

    How is the verity of the conviction related to how humane the punishment is?

        Yeah, of course, death penalty is never acceptable and must be abolished entirely. Even setting aside that no proof of a physical event can be 100% solid, or all the other practicality arguments; even the worst rapists, murderers, terrorists and billionaires are still humans and do not deserve death when they present no danger anymore due to being apprehended.

          It already is in all modern societies except like the USA.

          I took this as a thought experiment. You seems to root awfully much for these bad people, I’d say let’s help them when we have helped all their victims.

            Given the original commenter was talking about “the left”, I’m critiquing AES countries (e.g. China) here. USA is a lost cause when it comes to human rights anyways.

            That’s just basic human empathy combined with practicality. They are still human and deserve humane treatment, and also most of them (like 80% if we look at Scandinavia) can be reintegrated into the society in some way.

            You won’t be able to help them if you murder them
