deterrent - inalienable - human being - offenders - deaths - executed - abuses - irreversible -tolerate - crime rates - execution - abolishes - right - death penalty - capital punishment -innocents - tortures - fundamental rights - imprisonment - revenge

There are many arguments against the death penalty. It’s not a (1)... deterrent......... against the crimes that it punishes. Societies who use the death penalty don’t have lower (2).... crime rates......When a country (3)... abolishes....... the death penalty, they are not plunged into criminal chaos. But even if the (4).. death penalty...... did reduce crime rates, would it then be acceptable? The death penalty targets the economically disadvantaged, those who can’t afford good, legal counsel those without a voice in society. There’s a saying in the US:” (5)... capital punishment....... means that those without a capital get the punishment”. Statistics show this is true. But would it be acceptable, if people from all sections of society were (6)... executed...? Does killing a rich man make killing a poor man right? The death penalty is (7)... irreversible...... and results in the death of innocent. When someone is dead, a retrospective pardon is of little use to them or their family. Since 1990 in China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the USA there have been 51 recorded (8).... deaths...... of child (9)... offenders...., some as young as 14 years old. Even if no more (10) ... innocents...... or children were killed, should we (11).... tolerate....... the death penalty ? The death penalty is never acceptable. It (12)... abuses..... two of our most basic human rights : Everyone has the (13).. right.... to live. No one should be subject to torture |
The death penalty obviously kills people, but it also (14).. tortures..... physically by the brutal nature of execution and psychologically by forcing individuals to wait to be killed. They wait sometimes for decades, while others are led to their (15).. execution.... The horror of this waiting is unimaginable. Human rights are thus called because they apply to all humans, they belong to all of use equally. An attack on these (16)... fundamental rights..... anywhere is an attack against all of us. The right to life is (17)... inalienable..... It cannot be given and it cannot be taken away. No matter how terrible a crime, in a world full of uncertainty human rights are a clearly drawn line; a line between what is right and what is wrong, the line between (18).. imprisonment... and execution. Every individual facing the death penalty is - whatever they stand accused of - still a(19)... human being...... However much we are outraged by their actions, however much we want (20).... revenge ...., they are still human beings. They may well have been killed and tortured, they crossed the line but do we want to join them?
