The Death Penalty is the Law

IntroductionI want to clarify where this debate headed. This is my understanding of the new debate from your previous responsesFirst Pro-Resolution is as follows: Death penalty is Justice Con-Resolution is as follows: The Death penalty is no Justice Con Stated "I am opposed to capital punishment, I do not believe it is just." You also stated your opinion should have no bearing in the debate which is confusing to viewers and to me, since debate by definition is ": a discussion between people in which they express different opinions about something, in which opposing arguments are put forward."(D1) Rebuttal to negate my resolution in this debate instead than arguing a side should not come into play. But no matter, since you have already agreed upon playing the role of con and defending your reasoning above.Defending RebuttalNote: I stand uncorrected when stating "The most human death as possible" for the death penaltyThe current Death Penalty method of executions allowed in the US are as follows:1. Hanging2. Firing Squad3. Gas Chamber4. Electrocution5. Lethal Injection(1)Your rebuttal against lethal injection describes the execution of Angel Diaz. Indeed he gasped for air and autopsy shows chemical burns. Also note that Amnesty International is an extremely bias organization against the death penalty, information on thier site is filtered in a way that supports their argument. Information left out was that autopsy reported the needle missed the vein which is why it had taken so long. This is one case out of thousands that had gone wrong. (2)Lethal Injection Process"The first of the three injections is an anesthetic, sodium thiopental, which is a fast-acting barbiturate that depresses the activity of the central nervous system. This initial shot doesn’t serve as an analgesic (pain killer) that numbs pain nerves, but instead rapidly puts a person into a state of unconsciousness that’s theoretically deep enough to make pain undetectable."(5)"After the initial injection, the intravenous line is quickly flushed with saline, a neutral substance commonly used to push a drug into the bloodstream more quickly."(5)"Following another saline flush is the final injection, potassium chloride. This last dosage of chemical floods the heart with charged particles that interrupt its electrical signaling, stopping it from beating."(5)On average, after receiving the final injection, it takes 15 to 30 seconds to die, without pain. (4)Dissecting opponent's resolution"Due to the pain felt, and the amount of time it can take to die via lethal injection, it is clear that if there do exist ways to humanely kill, lethal injection is not one of them." Note: A comma is needed before "via".As explained earlier Lethal Injected patients do not feel pain as anesthetic is administered. The amount of time is 32 minutes for only one of the rare cases, average time to death from the first needle penetration is 8.2 minutes. Incorrect, killing compared to humane is how an individual perceives it. Consider a park ranger shooting an injured moose, it is humane. Lethal can be considered inhuman, BUT it is the most humane out of the five allowed in the U.S."Lethal injection will be administered unless the inmate requests electrocution, or lethal gas."(7)Note: Inmates have a choice of execution. If ruling out lethal injection as a choice, whos to say that is the next two choices is more humane?Justice AgreementWe are in agreement those questions must be answered to be able to view how one perceives justice. To my understanding though your definition states which states justice can be chosen to be one of the three. Nevertheless, I presume you disagree to all three questions, correct?RefutationThe Death Penalty is justice since it is acknowledged as a justified punishment in our court system of justice. Referring to the 3 questions contender provided, we can also agree the courts can answer to agree or disagree with them by using the sixth amendment of a "Right to a fair trail".I also believe answering these questions strictly to killing in general, and answering them to Punishment of the crime by execution is two totally different ideals.Contender, I would also like to ask of you why you believe the death penalty is unjustified to the people whose family members, close friends, and community members that are slaughtered by one criminal who clearly understood the punishment from the beginning of planning out such a crime. If punishment by execution is playing the role of God, who's to say imprisonment and taking one time in life away is also a role of God?A last unrelated response:I am still willing to debate as a civilian (normal person as you will) than debating research over research. We can all agree writing a research paper can grow weary on an individual.I accept that I carry a burden of proof ;)Sources:Supporting Information Evidence(1)http://www.foxnews.com...(2)http://www.bbc.com...(3)http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org...(4)http://en.wikipedia.org...(5)http://scienceline.org...(6)http://www.debate.org...(7)http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org...Definitions(D1)http://www.merriam-webster.com...
