Would be necessary to reintroduce the death penalty in Chile?


Talking about certain topics that are controversial as abortion, the legalization of marijuana and, in our case, the death penalty is a somewhat awkward situation because there are very different ideas and there are people who are not capable of respecting the opinions of others. Overall, this is a great opportunity, because this kind of talking allows to know more deeply to the people since their judgments about these issues are related to their values, morals and education received.

To be honest, I am a person who loves life and respect at all levels, but despite this I am all for that Chile must re-apply the death penalty. I do not know if I don't realize ofthe malice and cruelty of the people or maybe the news on TV and newspapers didn't treat criminal's news, but for some time now I have known the most egregious cases, like the case of the little girl Francisca from Valparaiso who was raped and beaten before being thrown alive into the sea. The case returned to the public opinion this week when it emerged that the murderer of this little girl receive life imprisonment. The truth is that I do not believe in the rehabilitation of these criminals, just do not believe in the ability of reformation of a mind so ill that can accurately plan the details not to be discovered after stealing a life. other point which I favor is because the death penalty would be an item to deter other offenders from committing criminal acts against the life of people, because they would be exposing his own life by violating the law.

The current use of the death penalty has been abolished in almost all European countries (except Belarus), and most parts from Oceania (Australia, New Zealand and East Timor). Also, most Latin American countries have completely abolished it, while the United States, Guatemala and most Caribbean states remain in force. The case of United States it´s the principal reference of the aplication of this punishment, where since 1990 have been executed more than 350 people, with more than 3,300 death row.

Hey, Camila. I understand what you mean by being helplessness about a situation like Francisca's. But I think rehabilitation can be applied in some cases, too.
See you! =)
