Question

What do you see as the future for capital punishment in the United States?

Answer 1

• Crime scene and autopsy photos, and the visible emotions on the faces of the family members who attend every hearing, are constant reminders of the horrific harms that human beings can inflict on one another and the irreparable damage caused to those left behind.  
• On the other hand, some believe that regardless of the circumstances it’s simply unacceptable for the state to take the life of one of its citizens. Others who can accept capital punishment in theory question whether our existing system is sufficiently reliable to support that penalty.
• I don’t see it going away at the national level. Abolitionists have fought for decades to have the Supreme Court declare capital punishment categorically unconstitutional, but although they’ve come close at times and clearly have the ears of some current justices, I don’t expect that the Court will ever go that far at least not anytime soon.
• So I expect that capital punishment will remain constitutionally permissible, and that those states with steadfast support will continue imposing it.  
• Its a long debate of right or wrong and I dont think it can ever have a complete decision favouring one side.Full agreement on either favouring it or going aganist it seems never ending.To come to a conclusion for this system is not easy since human lives our involved in it.And yes,even though morally its wrong to kill someone,but a criminal needs punishment as well.So,future for this system is still uncertain.
