I say NO to death penalty.
There should be way better ways to resolve the issues, for example:
- tie criminal to a chair
- make him/her consume high dosage of LSD or Iboga or Ayahuasca
- force him/her to watch a 6 hour long compilation movie of violent acts [murders, beatings, etc, anything, but it has to be real thing, not fake - all this "eyes wide shut stlye" --> This Is Format c:/ for the personality
- take him/her into a 100% dark room, and block all the other perceptions --> time for post-processing
- Enjoy the brand new person
Actually, there was a
fantastic episode of Black Mirror about punishing people with serious crimes
