Argumentative Paragraph

"The Death Penalty should remain a legal form of punishment in New Mexico"


The death penalty goes a long way back in human history and has many different forms some of which are very gruesome. We have dealt with this issue for a long time and we are still dealing with this today. The death penalty should not remain a legal form of punishment in New Mexico. I believe there is other worse form of punishments than death itself, which, in my opinion, is not really a punishment, but a release from the punishments of this chaotic world. Moreover, there are innocent people who are sentenced with death penalty, which is not fair both for the convicted and his family. Others might think that death does more justice to the victim than other forms of punishment; however, killing somebody only brings the victims to the same level as the criminal and as most of us have been taught the value of forgiveness, we should just forgive them and let their conscience punish them. Death should not remain as a legal form of punishment. None of us have the right to take away life and death is not really a punishment, but a release form it.
