Why I Oppose The Death Penalty

I oppose the death penalty, not because I do not believe that there are those who deserve it, but because I believe that those who mete it out are never adequate to exact its irretrievable price. I oppose the death penalty, not because I do not believe that there is merit in preventing those who receive it from killing again, but I believe that it lowers those who deliver it to the level of those we condemn.
