    Should the death penalty be legal in Poland?

    The last sentence to death in Poland


    was conducted in 1988, and since then there has been a lot of disputation on
    whether it should be legal or prohibited. I think that a lot of people’s opinion about
    this particular topic is based on their ethics, moral psychology and religion. But
    maybe we should take a look at it, from a more logical point of view.

    Firstly, the most convincing reason for supporting the legalization of the death
    penalty is that the fear of such punishment may keep criminals away from
    committing further crimes. This way we could limit the number of serious crimes.
    Felonies are aware that this punishment is their very last one. It disenables them to
    do a breakout or to get somebody’s back for something. Also, if somebody is
    sentenced to life imprisonment, any further crimes that he is able to commit, cannot
    be punished because he already has got the worse decree.

    Secondly, the thing that may appear pretty logical when it comes to supporting the
    death penalty is that this is the most accurate punishment for somebody, who killed
    someone. If a killer takes away someone’s most precious gift, which is life, why
    should he still be alive? Why shouldn’t he be punished the same way? The majority
    of people agree that this is the fairest punishment, especially when it comes to serial
    killers. The death penalty would place both the victim and the murderer in equal
    positions.

    On the other hand, we are all humans, and judges also make mistakes. If someone
    that wasn’t really guilty of committing a particular crime was sentenced to death,
    there would be no way to take back such a decision. Also, a situation such as judicial
    murder can happen on a daily basis. Judicial murder is when a judge unfairly
    sentences someone on purpose in a lawsuit. Usually, it happens in totalist countries
    where the government or some higher hierarchy authority wants to get rid of
    somebody who is uncomfortable.

    In addition, plenty of people consider such a penalty as unhumanitarian. We live in


    the 21st century, and nowadays it's even harder to imagine these types of sentences
    being conducted. Some people think that life imprisonment is enough when it comes
    to isolating one from society. The majority of people in Poland are Christians, and the
    catechism of the catholic church doesn’t really support such punishment.
    To sum up, I think we should take a new look at the death penalty. Nowadays
    scientists came up with new technologies that allow carrying such punishment
    through in a humanitarian way. It should provoke even the most conservative
    opponents of this solution, to think it through.
