There has been some debate recently about re-instating the death penalty in UK. One comment (I forget by whom) stated the obvious, that murderers don't re-offend after they've been sentenced to death! Also, the right to have euthanasia if one does not wish to continue to live has also been broached. I find that the idea of taking a life is not right, and 'vengeance' is a dubious reason for sentencing someone to death. Also, euthanasia could be open to abuse and errors (mental health etc). Any views on these issues? I always regard life as precious.
