Singapore hangs woman convict for drug trafficking, first in almost 20 years - Lemmy NZ

No nation can call itself civilized that still uses the death penalty.
Some crimes are so heinous and intrinsically evil that I believe we as society shouldn’t take the burden of keeping those people alive just for the sake of it. I believe that in those very limited cases, death penalty should be allowed.

If it's allowed there will be mistakes, innocent people will be killed.

And it will be abused.

Mistakes happen, get over it
Admitting that mistakes can happen is a strong argument against the death penalty. You can’t “get over” or “fix” death.
