Nora
Death penalty should be abolished because it is against the bill of right. The eighth amendment of the constitution stated that it is unconstitutional to apply usual punishment to anyone. Although some people think that death penalty helps to decrease the number of crime, it was found that death penalty doesn't affect the number of crimes in the society.[6] Some believes that death penalty helps the government to cut the spending in prison, but what can cost more than human’s life. There are cases that show that it is possible that the person who is in the death row is innocent, and some might even have mental illnesses. Death penalty violates human rights and should be abolished due to many reasons, such as different methods of execution.
There are many ways of execution and all methods are cruel and usual, which violates human rights. Methods of execution include lethal injection, electrocution, gas chamber, firing squad, and hanging, and they all can cause extreme pain to the prisoner. [3] Lethal injection is the most common way for execution in the United States today in death penalty state. Prisoners who are put in death row are injected with three types of medicine, Pentothal, pancuronium bromide, and potassium chloride, during lethal injection. Although this kind of execution method doesn’t seem painful, research shows four out of ten of inmate experience extreme pain. Other methods of execution are also cruel, and some causes the prisoner’s eyeball pops out, or blood releasing from body before they die, like a reporter described “Before he was pronounced dead, blood from his nose poured onto the collar of his white shirt, and blood spread across his chest.” [5] Furthermore, the eighth amendment stated that there shouldn’t be anyone who should be punished in an unusual and cruel way and research shows that methods of death penalty cause pain. Death penalty is cruel, unusual, and can also be unfair to prisoners.
