The two individuals that are on opposite sides of the death penalty are Edward Koch and David Bruck. The mayor Edward Koch believes that the death penalty is necessity for todays society. David Koch is saying that the death penalty is another form of murder. If someone were to kill another person, the authorities have all the rights to sentence them to death and to guarantee such a horrific crime would not happen again. Mayor Edward Koch claims that to help the penalty for murder would be a huge insult to the victims, other than David Bruck correctly argues that justice is not served by creating another victim accountable for the things that he or she have done.
Which is very true people are going to try to do whatever they want without getting caught. So by them making their bad choices by giving a person death for a consequence solves nothing. What also said was ‘because homicidal maniacs kill people by mistake, then it’s supposed to be okay for the state to emulate them” (Smith). In my next article, Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished, facts were pointed out strongly why it should not be approved. Three factors pointed out were “unrelated to the crime itself, greatly influence who gets executed and who does not: poverty, race and geography” (Roleff).
Journal Entry (Personal Choice): Critical Reading Mayberry Author- Josh Sugarmann Page numbers 6 Summary- The article I read was called the NRA is Right it actually mainly shows how the author is against the right to bear arms. All he keeps bringing up is statistical rates that the NRA and police are applying to. He rather keep his own opinion to himself and just go off of what other people are say to try and show that guns are not the best choices to be held and used. He did give many true facts but also many of his own opinion. He mainly stayed on the fact that people kill them self and cause murder.
The ones who throw the bible at the penalty forget to read certain portions. “The murderer shall surely be put to death” (Numbers 35:16-18) this bible excerpt counters the argument. Abstracting the death penalty and saying it is wrong for the government to take ones life is the wrong way to approach the system. If each case was reviewed in the sense that the victim was a loved one, giving the criminal free room and board would be a harder choice. A claim that human life’s value is diminished when someone is executed is a bold claim.
President wants to implement more strict rules on keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are mentally ill with strict background checks. In addition, he emphasizes assault weapons ban. He stated “weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theatre don’t belong on our streets”. Analysis President Obama wants to reinstate the assault weapon ban. He believes that assault weapon should only be used by security officials to protect or nation, and also, availability of assault weapons has given birth to violent crimes.
He describes lethal injections as too “hospitalized” and would oppose the thought of it. The author later explains that if there was any sort of death penalty there should just be a traditional firing squad. In another argument he also explains that no one takes responsibility for the punishment, and in case of the firing squad the responsibility is just diffused to different groups. He later explains that we have to take responsibility as a people about these capital punishments and that the past really does count. He concludes by saying anesthesia needs to be abolished, and in order to kill a person we, as a people will find a constitutional way to kill them.
He mention what is the president and public want from gun control laws even the public think all new government laws will not work to reduce the illegal used of gun. I agree with Wilson criticism of gun control legislation in same time I agree with the public of the effective of the new laws. Wilson tries to propose some solutions of illegal gun and should control and ban the use of these guns. Wilson has some ideas and major actions to solve gun control debate. He mentions the relating between shrinking the stock of legally purchased guns and people self defend.
In the book is described how the verdict of someone is a game of chance compared to the “Wheel of fortune”. It’s also mentioned how a price is put on a human life. Analyzing the paragraph without background information made me thought that the Justice system in the Holcomb is unreasonable and unfair. It seems that the author wants to make us understand that the way the government in Holcomb treats the criminals is not supported by evidence. Perry had some mental problems throughout the book but he was still hanged without a hundred percent check that he might not have full consciousness of what he did.
Physician assisted suicide should not be legalized for the simple fact many would give up and take the easy way out. There is currently a pervasive assumption that if assisted suicide and/or voluntary euthanasia (AS/VE) were to legalized, then doctors would take responsibility for making the decision that these interventions were indicated, for prescribing the medication, and (in euthanasia) for administering it .Richard Huxable remarks “that homicide law encompasses various crimes, so prosecutors can choose charges to suit the circumstances. Yet one thing is clear: mercy killing is still killing, equally, murder is murder” Physician assisted suicide is nothing more than cold blooded
Physician-Assisted Suicide: Morally Just? Physician-Assisted Suicide Why has assisted suicide, and euthanasia, been such a fiercely debated ethics issue? As a society, we value are individuality and are strongly opposed to the government interfering in are everyday lives, but when it comes to our deaths we allow the government to dictate how we end it. Of all the states only three currently allow physician-assisted, with the others either having a law that makes physician –assisted suicide illegal or not having any law that specifically bans physician-assisted suicide. There are many arguments in favor of legalizing this practice, but there are also many that support not legalizing.
