Even if capital punishment meant death by slow,painful torture it would not act as a deterrent IMO.
I simply see the death penalty as a way to save the money on lifetime incarceration of the perp. I don't care which is worse for him, but rather what is best for society. Best for society is to end it with a $1 bullet rather than $350,000 of lifetiem incarceration expenses.
Furthermore, I think we should be harvesting the organs. Let SOMETHING good come out of it.
Would I have trouble being the one to do it?
Yes. Its messed up killing a person.
Would I do it if nobody else in the room would?
Yes. I would shoot them and get their heart and kidneys to use to save a good person's life. Or, rather, have a surgeon do that part.
