Question about the death sentence and serial murderers.?

Question

I know they still have the death sentence in certain areas of the world, but don't you agree that the death sentence is too good for people who have murdered children and butcher people? I think criminals of this type should be used for experiments (such as curing cancer etc.). Then they can actually give something back to society. What do you think we should do with serial murderers?

Answer 1

That's a great idea! Are you running for any sort of office? If not, then you should! lol! I'd vote for ya!

Answer 2

Actually, I believe that serials are psychologically unbalanced. Their actions may be considerably heinous, they tend to repeat themselves due to unresolved issues.

So yes, I believe that having them as part of experiments would benefit the society as a whole. However, I also believe that all criminal should be doing something that supports the system they tried so hard to corrupt.

If the prisons are full, why doesn't the state have the prisoners building more prisons. Or they could be building for Habitat for Humanity. The labor is there, it just needs to be utilized properly. Having a large population available could revitalize the education system. It's an untouched resource for all sorts of expansion, like psychology.

Also, with all of the land we have here in America that is open, like the crumbling inner cities, action can be taken to build housing for the homeless who are living in abandoned buildings and train tunnels.

The thing is, the powers that be don't want change. If thing were to change, then their positions might be in jeopardy. You see, by keeping the people afraid and unhappy it gives them a platform in order to make them look useful.

Answer 3

I have to say that I have experience here. A few years ago a friend of mine befriended a guy. She met him on the bus and they became friends. I never liked him and had this bad feeling about him. OK to just cut right to it. He had been to prison 5 times. For drugs, burglary and I think assault. So he was a five time loser but she saw good in him. She in time moved in with him. Months later a terrible murder happened near their apartments and he was questioned but NOT arrested. Weeks later he got strung out on drugs and pulled an armed robbery of a pharmacy. He was caught and arrested. NOW while in jail they drew blood and got a saliva sample. They fed his DNA 2 different ways into the FBI crime computers. He was matched to the murder. HIS blood matched the blood found at the crime scene. Then the computers matched him to 7 rapes. Older rapes but he was now matched and charged with a murder and seven rapes.
He was found guilty of the MURDER and was sent to death row in Kansas. Since then the State over-turned the death penalty and he went to serving 60 years flat and now is on tour facing the rapes one by one.
So he is NOT a serial murderer but a serial rapist and he did a very gruesome murder. So I say NO to experimenting on him. His blood was found in 6 different places of the murdered woman's apartment. He did it and NO he should NOT be kept alive. No experiments. Let him stand trial for the rapes so the women can have their day in court and then kill him.. Sorry but that is how I feel.

Answer 4

I wuould whole heartedly agee with you - and also serial rapists aswell.
Performing the death penalty as others have said is an easy way out for them. Using them though as human guinea pigs is a very good idea, of course you would remove what ever parts of their body your testing without any anaesthetic!! (sorry, heartless ***** - but nothing less than they deserve).

You get onto the government about this hon - sounds a brilliant idea to me!! x

Answer 5

They should be executed in the same manner in which their victims were murdered. There is NO reason the criminal's death should be painless and quick and merciful if there was no mercy shown to the victim.
And don't give me that s**t about the Constitutional amendment against cruel & unusual punishment. The Constitution is ignored every day by Congress and the President. If they can ignore it, so should the people.

Answer 6

I have said before, with positive feedback, why not make them involuntray ORGAN DONORS?
They could pay some small price back to society by saving a few lives in place of the ones they took.
And I surely wouldn't limit this practice to SERIAL killers but allow it for any who are sentenced to death.

Answer 7

I don't agree that they should be used for experimentation. They are still human life, and if we do that, we are no better than they. However, I do agree that they should have the death sentence. We do have to do something to keep children and innocent people safe.

Answer 8

I totally agree with you these things should be put to a public vote as well i don't think its fare that the government should make so many decisions for us but then you have got to think about the number of time an Innocent person was executed

Answer 9

Yeah, I agree. As long as they arent living it up in jail eating and lodging for free!

alot of them want the death sentence... i say no way!

Answer 10

no the best thing is to have continuous mock executions, go through all the preparations and then ....nothing. Until one day Bingo ! That should drive the sickos crazy thinking is this one it or not.
If not we can go back to public whippings.

Answer 11

Now that is a very good idea, while there waiting to be experimented on they should be doing hard labour and I mean hard labour, not sat sewing mail bags in prison and getting paid for it.
