It's bad because no one deserve to be able to take anothers life. There is only one God, and he choses when it is our time to die. However, there is also the theory an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Why should someone deliberately go out and murder someone and get away with it? They go to jail but we as taxpayers pay to keep him alive. We have no choice in this matter as the government makes all these decisions without the populations consent.
Personally I resent having to keep these murderers alive. They may get out but then they keep offending. They cannot be rehabilitated.
