as far as forfeiting his life I will agree, I would make sure he never saw the street again. But death....It would take some convincing, he is seven and if we say yes to that, we are saying he is not salvageable as a human being....we move from here to our elderly. I just wish there were a quick fix it.

I do not see the connection between the execution of a muderous child and euthenasia.

On one hand, we have punishment by death for taking a life.

On the other hand, we have death for the purposes of convenience, mercy killing, whatever you wish to call it.

If it never sees the street again, why not just give it the needle and have done?
