I have been struggling with this question for a very long time, and have decided that the death penalty should not be used. I will kill in self defense, but could not kill in the name of Justice.

Here is where I am coming from :

I could not kill someone who would accept responsibility for their crimes, and feel genuine remorse for their actions. (I think the greatest punishment for a murderer is to realize how inhuman his act was.)

Even the most hardened criminal carries in him the potential of being converted, and become a source of inspiration for society.

Also, forgiveness is probably the greatest source of healing for the victims.
