louise,

re >I want the “DP-sentenced level” murderer removed from
society, rendered harmless and deprived of consciousness.<

You want a fantasy utopia. There is no "suspended animation" available now or likely in the near future.

re >The value of a human life is such that we should not put ourselves in a position
where a mistake can be made. <

A very good argument for the DP, an executed murderer cannot be paroled, escape, or be accidently released to kill again. Nor can an executed murderer kill a fellow inmate. Also not killed are the victims of a potential murderer who is deterred by the object lesson provided by the fate of the executed murderer. To deny deterrence is to deny human nature.

Thanks Bill
