Yeah - that's the reason why I was saying in another thread that it would be EFFICIENT as a deterrent for drug dealing and pushing.

But on principle I think the actual act of killing another living person is morally wrong - for any reason.. Regardless of whether it is the state or anyone else doing the killing.

It's a really hard question.

Does anyone know whether the Belarussian Metro bombers can appeal etc? Or is that it?
How to they execute people in Belarus?

I have been taking Belarus' position in several debates here, because I think that Belarus is misrepresented in Western media. But on this one I am NOT taking their position!
