Does anybody deserve to die? My question would be does anybody desrve to live!! That may sound weird, but if you think about it, what has anybody done to deserve life? It was given to us somehow for free.
Here's another question, on who's moral standard are we basing whether people should die or live? Is it some compromise that we humans came up with? If so, what right have we to judge someone by a set of morals that are merely a collection of human ideas? What if the person commiting the crime disagrees with our set of morals and believes what he is doing is right?
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that what Glitter and Uber went through was not terrible. I honestly cannot imagine what I would feel if I went through they went through. I'm just saying that we have to be very careful taking away a gift that we didn't give, namely life. If we are some cosmic accident as Darwin suggests, we don't have to worry. On the other hand if someone or something outside of "nature" created us, and gave each of us life, shouldn't we be very careful about who we execute and why?
