I'm doing a persuasive essay concerning capital punishment but before I tell you what side I'm supporting I wanted to see how you lot felt about it: death sentence or life imprisonment?

How curious - my roommate and I were just discussing this topic last night.
My stance on capital punishment is that I am against using the death penalty under any circumstances. Aside from my ethical conviction that nothing justifies taking another human's life, especially when it involves so much pain for the victim, there are too many instances of innocent people being placed on Death Row. Indeed, one instance of this happening is too many. Our focus should be on preventing crime and ensuring fair trials instead.

In utter agreement with the above statement.
To quote the perfect passage:
"Deserves death! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends"
... now i know that this quote varies from book to film but I forget how...
