Anglican and Senior Chaplain at the University of Warwick, England
Position:
Not Clearly Pro or Con
to the question "Should the death penalty be allowed?"
Reasoning:
"The first principle of the Hippocratic tradition is that doctors should do no harm. Although at first sight this principle seems irreconcilable with the death penalty, doctors have historically justified their conduct in terms of ensuring a painless and humane death for the prisoner."
