Death Penalty and Me

With regards to the justice system we have here in our beloved country,I would really like to express my utter disagreement with the Death Penalty Act.We really must think,is it really worthwhile killing a another person for the crimes he have committed?I shall take the example of a murderer.True,I would not deny that the person has committed murder,but my question is why would the law(having known that it is clearly prohibited to take another person's life)permit the death penalty to be taken in practice?Would the law be so slow as to stoop to the grounds of the accused as to take away his life.Wouldn't that action be putting the law at the mercy of its own hands for committing a murder too?As we would have heard it,'No one in the world have rights to his partner's soul'...the law is created by people,which in this case and every other case mean that the law has totally no right to give the accused the chair.I would vouch for the abolishment of the death penalty enactment..You see,by giving the accused the chair,it clearly means that the law,and the people governing it is just running away from the problem at hand.What they should be committed to do is to annalyse and sought out the problem.Some people might point out the saying "you scratch my back,and I'll scratch yours".It means to say that if you take away a person's life,you shall repay fully with your own.We must also keep in mind what a great man once said "an eye for an eye,will turn the world blind".The people governing the law should abolish the death penalty act and reinstate it with punishment such as "100 slashes of whip' or "life imprisonment".Life is just too precious to be taken away.
