It is indeed a moral dilema

You say that now, BUT what if someone raped, tortured and then murdered your children???? How would you feel then? Would you be able to forgive them? or would you want retribution?

I'm all in favour - which may put me in the minority. Not a religionist by any means, but "an eye for an eye" seems like a good deterrent to me!

i too have mixed emotions.. one side says its ok, he too killed so many people but then doing the same thing to him that he did to others doesnt make us very different ... so i condemn it on the other side .. his life in prison could have been used many other ways other than executing you ..

I kind of agree (As long as the prison conditions are reasonable and not barbaric). Its a moral dilema :-?
