Capital Punishment should be Banned or Allowed?

I believe that capital punishment should be banned. As Gautam Buddha has said. We have no right to take what we cannot give. While scrolling through I also saw that someone referred to the Ramayana. Well here's the thing: The Ramayana was written by Maharishi Valmiki who before he met Buddha would cut people's fingers and make a necklace out of it. If we come to think. Did he not deserve to die? Did he not take innocent lives? But Buddha forgave him and so he attained enlightenment and wrote the epic Ramayana. Secondly, Ramayana is about a war. A war in which soldiers who had done nothing wrong had to give their lives. And after bringing Sita back she was sent away as she had been in captivity of another man. What wrong did Sita do? Is the respect that should be given to women?

It should not be banned as it's the best punishment for the people who commit serious crimes such as rape.

It shouldn't be banned at all.

Rather than banning there should de proper judgement before reaching to any conclusion. It is the best punishment to be given to people's who commit serious threat like rape, terrors, corruption.

According to me, capital punishment should not be banned because terrorists like the ones who would be executed will think 10 times before doing a crime.

I think capital punishment should be abolished. Capital punishment is not the only way to reduce crime rate instead of capital punishments we have to change the thoughts of criminals and make them realise about the mistake. Only way to reduce the crime rate is to change the thoughts of people but not severe punishments.

Capital punishment should not be banned. It application in some serious cases is useful. Cases like terrorism, capital punishment is necessary. If we not hang them, then we spent lot of money for their security and other things. Which is wrong. If we hang them then we can save lot of money. We can use this save money for the developement of India. So why we keep them in Prison And waste our useful money.

Capital punishment should be banned. I have many reasons for saying this. Firstly, man does not have the right to kill. It is up to the gods alone. Secondly, the death penalty does not entirely deter crime. Those who want to kill will do it whatever the consequences. Thirdly, innocent victims are being killed, sometimes. They may have not been capable enough to prove their case, so they were called guilty. Finally, the families of those killed go through severe mental trauma and loss. I am sure I wasn't the only one who saw the mother and sister of Myuran Sukumaran on the day of his execution in Indonesia for a drug case.

But this doesn't mean that justice should not be served. People should face the consequences of their wrong doings. Someone who has taken the life of another doesn't deserve to live. But is is not us who should make the ultimate decision, it is God.

Capital punishment should not be banned in India rather it should be used only in only certain cases where the criminal deserves a hard but not harsh one whereas in cases of rape, honour killing the criminal should not be hanged to death rather should be given life imprisonment where the criminal should be beaten on a daily basis where he would cry for death, but death would be given to him so that every person who thinks of raping a girl would first think of its consequences.

It should not be banned, while in the case of the rarest to rare, execution must be on public place.

According to me, one that has made the justice system fail in India is the doctrine " RAREST OF THE RARE'. Because of this 99.99% of mass murderers get away scot free and retributive justice has become a non-sequitur.

In my opinion, the only way punishment would work would be 'retributive justice' and all other objectives such as rehabilitation and reformative justice are bull-shit and need to be scrapped.
