  1. The article was really interesting and made some good points. On one hand people want the killer to be put to death, but on the other hand some said that it will not bring the victim back, which I think is true. As a society we set some rules that should be followed and one of them is not to kill, which means that we should follow them as well, even if we are dealing with a killer to model that killing is not right.

  2. This is a delicate topic to deal with. I agree that as a society we are always conveying the message that harming or killing another isn’t the solution to solving problems. Coming from an HUS perspective the death penalty in my opinion is extreme I can;t say that I agree with the death penalty. I feel that an HUS worker can play an significant role in determining the type of punishment that should be issued based on the crime.

    I personally don’t not think the death penalty is an appropriate form of punishment for someone who have even committed multiple murders. Even though I may think that a person whom have killed a child for example should be put to death, morally that isn’t right and it does not benefit anyone. The child would still be dead and having someone on death row cost a lot of money.
