- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should the Death Penalty Be Allowed?"
- Reasoning:
-
“If no crime is considered serious enough to warrant capital punishment, then the gravity of the most atrocious crime is diminished accordingly…
We urge that legislation which re-establishes the death penalty also include safeguards to eliminate any inequities.”
