Even then though it takes like multiple decades to actually schedule an execution. Justen Hall for example was executed in 2019 for a crime he committed in 2002 after waiving his appeals and asking them to schedule a date.

Alternately, if you were adopted across international boundaries, your guardians consented on your behalf for you to be subject to the laws of the nation into which you were adopted. You maintain that consent as an adult by choosing to remain a citizen or resident of the nation in which you live.

Sure, PragerU is well-known to be quite supportive of the death penalty, but having preconceived notions about the answer doesn’t really change the question itself. And okay, ideally, it could’ve been asked, “When, if ever, do you think that using the death penalty is moral?” or something like that, but all-in-all, it’s actually surprising how neutrally the question was asked. And even with their known support of the death penalty, I don’t believe they would say that one of the reasons it’s moral is that the convict has to consent to being executed. Admittedly, that may be because they feel people sentenced to death get _too much_ due process, but I still don’t see them making _that_ particular claim.

@@JLF201 I'd say you're partly right; "knowing there would be a guilty verdict" doesn't apply-the premise would be "you consent to *possibly* suffering punishment as a result of the crime."

In theory, I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong to kill people who have proven themselves extremely dangerous. I just don’t trust anyone to wield that kind of power, including the state. The amount of innocent people put to death in the US far exceeds any social benefit of capital punishment, if there is any significant benefit at all. Also, any killing done by the state that isn’t completely necessary just perpetuates the idea that the state has the right to kill, which is dangerous in my opinion.

Nota bene: When I was doing a research paper in a college English composition course, I selected the topic of capital punishment, and I selected "Dead Man Walking" to read, analyze, and react to. The instructor, Sister Winifred, suggested that I watch the major motion picture. I sensed a trap, since a non fiction book that a movie is based upon is always a better source than the major motion picture made from it. Sadly, it wasn't a trap - after reading the book, I was non compos mentis (in a depressedly and hopelessly angry funk) for about a fortnight. And it got worse when I did an interview with (at that time) my state senator from Wisconsin, who said, in response to my question asking how many innocent or wrongly convicted people is it acceptable to execute in order to have the death penalty, that the number of wrongly convicted or innocent people executed in order to have the death penalty had no limit. (This state senator is now the US Representative of the Wisconsin 5th Congressional District.) Praeger U didn't hire this guy, because he was too overqualified for them.

As someone who thinks the correct answer is "never," I have to say that I find "if and only if the person agrees" to be an interestingly nuanced response. Yes, in practice, it's the same as my answer, but so what? My answer is correct (at least according to me). ☺

@KonradTheWizzard 3 года назад

I would argue that even if this person agrees it would not be moral - someone would have to commit a homicide to execute that person and you could also argue that this person agreeing to their own (premature) death is not in a sound state of mind. Thus the executioner would be killing someone who is mentally ill and needs a very different kind of help. In short I would agree with your initial notion: the death penalty is never moral.

@DFX2KX 3 года назад

You do have folks of sound mind who chose that route. Either as an act of protest to the law (I don't agree with this law, and I'll make you kill me for it), would rather be a martyr (everyone who has ever chosen death over forced conversion, there are no shortage of examples), or they know the price of their crime and find it a just fate (a few spies asking not to be blindfolded to face the firing squad down like men). I'm on the rough opposite end on this particular issue. I'd be happy with a society where sexual assault and corruption while in office get added to murder in our list of capital crimes (I'm aware this is not how the US works, but if it changed tomorrow I'd not complain). It's bad for the convicted, but to me it's the lessor of two evils. Society is a numbers game: you're NEVER getting all of the time and money rehabilitating them back. That effort can be better spent on petty criminals that might actually be a net positive on civilization at the end of the day (or basically anything else). Some, however, take the stance that capital punishment is the easy way out. Why execute someone when you can get 30 years of hard labor out of them? given a choice between 'sitting in a cell for 20 years' 'working to the bone for 20 years' and 'standing against a wall for two minutes'.... I'll take option three. Horrible, but brief.

@AzureDragon158 3 года назад

@@DFX2KX The problem is that people are inevitably going to be convicted of crimes they didn't commit, which means that the state will be executing at least some innocent people. At least someone can be released from a life sentence and compensated if wrongly convicted, nothing can take back the death penalty. For this reason, I'll only ever support the death penalty if we manage to find a way to read people's minds and find out for certain whether they're guilty.
