The Death Penalty

About a Reasonable Doubt

“We're all human, aren't we? 

Every human life is worth 

the same, and worth saving.” 

J.K. Rowling

What is the value on a human being life?  Maybe I can answer this, if I am talking about the purpose of death penalty, but maybe not. On second thought, maybe today is the time to say loud and clear: I need to distinguish between personal opinion and social conditioning. Especially, I must recognize that my culture shapes me. And, however, I may build character into my life and shape me as a person, who is constantly using his common sense.

When I listen different opinions about this topic, I think immediately in our condition as fallible beings. We can not decide over the lives of many people. We do not have that right. It would make us as criminals or killers, too. Killing can never be justified.

Finally, about 'how much is human life worth in itself?', my conclusion is that the human life is well worth a reasonable doubt.While this doubt exists, it is not permissible to take a human life.
