Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I’ve always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.

But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.

Which if even more disturbing.

So what do you think?

    I’d support a voluntary death penalty, as a practical solution for both society and the criminal. If the person does not want to live anymore, for whatever reason, give them a way out of this life.

    I strongly doubt free will is as free as we’d like to believe, so in all fairness we should focus on minimizing suffering for everybody. Guilt should just be a technicality of who triggered a crime, like cause and effect.
