Why is it any more cruel to execute them than me?

State sanctioned killing is not a very good idea since it leads to rather arbitrary rules which do not have a direct societal benefit. The nation is not harmed because Charles Manson is in prison somewhere, while the death of Timothy McVeigh guarentees that we will not know further details of his associations and influences. It is hard to pick out a single classification such as mental retardation as special case, it will all be subjective in the end.
