ANTI-DEATH PENALTY ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Introduction
Death penalty is a type of punishment where it practices putting a person to death for
committing a crime. Crimes punishable by death are murder, crimes against humanity, treason
and more. Execution includes beheading, electrocution, hanging, lethal injection, and shooting
in the back of the head by a firing squad. Some countries execute 18 years old below as long as
a crime punishable by death has been committed. But before they are executed they are
imprisoned known as “death row” unaware of when their time is up. Death penalty was once
legal in the Philippines, it was at the time of the previous President Ferdinand Marcos in 1926
using an electric chair or ‘silya elektrika’ in the past. But later on in the year 2006 it was deemed
to be too vicious and was disapproved by many and was banned but now President Rodrigo
Duterte is bringing it back, and for what?
Pro-death penalty would say that death penalty should be legalized so that criminals
would get what they deserve and that no criminals would ever cross the road. But they are only
looking at one side of the argument. There should be a few things to consider before agreeing
to the death penalty such as the situation of the person. There must be a reason why that
person decided to commit those crimes; being threatened to do so or wasn’t conscious about
what he is doing and many more or they are just accused falsely. Putting someone into death
penalty does not only punish the person however it also punishes their family and friends to loss
someone they love, which is something they shouldn’t be facing as they did nothing wrong.
Death penalty can kill the lives of innocent people and we cannot risk that. What if the
person didn’t commit the crime but has poorly defended himself, he would end up dead. If death
penalty is continued, we can’t protect the poor people. It is said that death penalty aims to stop
the crimes but knowing that the person could be innocent and is in a place where he can’t prove
his innocence defeats its purpose. If we pursue the death penalty, isn’t it us who commits the
crime because we are killing innocent people? It only means that we too should be put up to
death penalty, if ever death penalty is legalized. Death penalty is said to give criminals the
punishment they deserve to give justice. But how about killing innocent people, don't they
deserve justice too?
Killing innocent lives bear great feeling of guilt and is said to make people depressed.
Death penalty is irreversible, if we feel sorry for killing an innocent, we can't make anything
change that, hence people gets depressed. Everyone that was related to the person being in
the death penalty before or after only suffers. A former executioner stated that once they are
involved they will suffer depression and guilt and destroyed their lives from drinking and using
drugs to forget what they have done and to feel better for their own sake but even after taking
drugs and drinking they can never forget the fact that they have killed more so if the person they
have killed was an innocent person who did not have any money to defend himself towards the
said crime.
