Yep. (This is to counteract the “nope” in the other comment)
I am against the death penalty also; but I understand you feel differently.
I don't have a whole lot of time to spend on tussling this out forever, but I think a certain amount of tussle is worth it, because it's one of the big moral questions of our time: Is it permitted for any reason directly and deliberately and intentionally to kill an innocent human being?
The answers to the questions about abortion, human embryo experimentation, target=city bombing, WMD's, terrorism, etc. all depend on our answer to this one.
I thank you (and others) for paying attention to that question. It deserves attention.
