evolution for our population.We need to have the latitude to
realise that we all take responsibilities for our actions, but we
do not the moral right to kill anyone.A drug trafficker may
traffick, but who consumes?Do you force a person to consume drugs
on pain of death?No.He consumes it willingly.He made that choice,
whatever ruin he did, he will answer alone.[b]WE DO NOT HAVE THE MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

Those in favour of the death penalty have a right to think that
way. The death penalty is a deterrent to drug
traffickers. Too bad the drug traffickers want to go
against the deterrent and risk death.
International Convention of Civil Protection and Rights state in
Article six - that humans have a right to live - however it MAKES a
PROVISION FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights : Everyone is equally
entitled to the right to live and the right to be free .
Criminals ,however , have infringed on a law abiding citizen's
right , they forfeit the right to be free (jail) and in the heinous
cases , the right to live (death penalty). Now if we want
to argue the way u do - human rights also state that no
cruel and unusual treatment should occur to human beings. So are
jails even supposed to be there since it comes under the right to
be free .and it is also a form of cruel and unusual treatment .
Well I am sorry ,my friend, the human rights declaration
has made provisions for that too. So jails are here to
stay.
The death penalty is an issue which have no end to who is right or
wrong. Yes I am pro death penalty. So what? The blood is not on the
legislation but on the individual who commits the crime despite
knowing the penalties his action will invoke .
