What if instead of being executed, the person was made to work as a slave for the rest of their lives in jobs people don't want, like finding explosive mines. OK forget the exploding mines bit, was a joke, but seriously, why waste that person? Put him to work with NO pay into some serious manual labor. At least he will be useful and very cheap.


Yes, but then your bleeding-heart, prisoners' rights advocates will claim that you're dehumanizing him. *rolls eyes*


Well, come on, you were going to kill that man! Now, there are only 2 reasons to kill someone for a crime:

* Because he is a total menace to society and should be totally excluded from it.

* So it will scare people thinking of doing such crimes.

If you make him work as a slave as opposed to KILLING him, that will make both points valid. Besides, any human rights advocate should belive that killing is worse than being put to work. Also, don't they know that there are still slave labor over the world?
