Argument- The Death Penalty Should Not be an Option.

Assertion or Claim

• We shouldn't be able to decide if someone dies or lives, thats God's decision.

Commentary 1

•  It would be better for someone to stay alive and live with what they have done.

Commentary 2

• Instead of being put to death, live with what you have done, and in the end let God decide what happens to you.

Assertion or Claim

• When an execution is publicized, more murders occur in the day and weeks that follow that execution.

Commentary 1

• "The Linberg kidnapping was a good example," after that death penalty more kidnappings occured in the following two weeks.

Commentary 2

• Publicity of the execution, will most likely encourage crime instead of prevent it.

Opposing Claims/ They Say

• One would think, that murder is bad, but they still do it. Therefore they should be put to death.
• Taking someone's life is bad. Everyone should know that and face the consequences.

My Rebuttal/ I Say

• Although i grant that one should know murder is bad, but I still maintain that they should have to live with the decisions they have made.
• It will hurt them more to sit in jail and think about what they did that day/night when they commited murder, or rape.

Taking someone's life is bad. Everyone should know that and face the consequences.

Although i grant that one should know murder is bad, but I still maintain that they should have to live with the decisions they have made.

It will hurt them more to sit in jail and think about what they did that day/night when they commited murder, or rape. So as you can see, the death penalty should not be enforced for the simple fact that we as humans, do not have the decision to end one's life.

My Thinking

I am an Inductive thinker, because i saw that the death penalty was being inforced and i created a hypothesis based on it.
