That depends on what you mean by %26quot;worth%26quot;
Reply:On the most part I would say no. A cold blooded killer who has killed innocent people is worthless and should be treated as such.
Reply:It depends on that person%26#039;s skills and attributes, and that person%26#039;s flaws and such.

So in essence, yes the life of a convicted murderer is worth as much as the life of a potential murder victim.





From a personal point of view I would never want to be in the position to decide whether someone dies. I think it would stay on my conscience forever.





However, my thoughts aside, in some cases a person does deserve to have their life cut short because of the atrocities they have carried out and the danger they pose to others. I am glad there are people strong enough to take that decision for the good of us all.
Reply:Life has worth.


That is what matters, independent of circumstance,


One must be alive to help another person.


One must be alive to be spiritual.


One must be alive to transmute the passions.


One must be alive to possess selflessness.





Yet there is a time to be born and a time to die.
Reply:Life is life. When it comes to human life, all is equal.





Your question is flawed due to a mere potential of someone being a murder victim. We are all potential murder victims.





The example that you provided of a convicted murderer also has a flaw. Being convicted of murder is, of course, a very serious charge. However, was the murderer in any way remorseful of his actions? We will charge him, convict him, and place him behind iron bars. We will see to it that he will never be able to commit another crime ever again. But will he show that he is truly sorry for what he has done?


Additionally, was the murder an act of pure intention, or one of accident. We must be sure. We need proof.


Not long ago our state presented us with a constitutional referendum re-instating the death penalty. The referendum passed. I voted against it. Not because I believe that we should not be able to punish such crimes, The death penalty should be set aside but for the most grotesque of crimes. But because of the fact that humans are flawed and our science is fallible, we can never truly be sure.


If we are wrong, and an innocent man is put to death, what have we gained?
Reply:All worth is relative; that means, every thing can be worth, not a squirt of pee or, millions of dollars, depending on who you ask, and what the situation is. Maybe the convicted murderer is loved by someone who would be willing to put others at risk just so they could keep him/her around. Everybody will decide for themselves what those lives are worth. I personally don%26#039;t think a murderer is worth much of anything, but that%26#039;s speaking generally; it could depend on the specifics of the situation.

Reply:Why is this a question of one persons life versus another%26#039;s?


Life without parole is an option in 48 states (all except Alaska and New Mexico.) It means exactly what it says, and the worst criminals do not get out. Ever.
