Is Capital Punishment Necessary

 

            Anybody will associate with the bloody and horrible scenes whenever they heart that a criminal is executed the capital punishment. In the world, there is much controversy about if the capital punishment is necessary. In terms of my point of view, the reason that I support the capital punishment should be abolished is that it deprives criminals of their basic life rights, brings the deep hurt for the criminal's families, and makes the courts lose the chance of correcting the mistakes.
             First of all, capital punishment deprives people of the basic life rights, even if they are criminals. In fact, people have many basic rights when they are born, including pursuing the happiness, equality and liberty, selecting the life style what they want, etc. Undoubtedly, the life right is the most fundamental right of all the above for a person. Furthermore, anybody has no right to deprive of other people's lives, even if governments or courts also can not authorize anyone or any organization to do this. In other words, supposing a person's the most basic life rights can not be ensured in this world, how to talk about his/her other rights? In the same way, because criminals are also people, they share the same rights with other people. Therefore, the criminal's life rights should be also respected.
             Secondly, capital punishment brings the deep hurt for the criminal's families. Generally speaking, criminals also have their parents; some of them have their children and couples. Furthermore, supposing their relations acknowledge they have lost their sons, their fathers or mothers, or their husbands or wives forever, what is their feeling? Especially for their children, they can feel be discriminated by other people, be helpless facing the problems, be desperate for the future life because their fathers or mothers are executed the capital punishment. In other words, their fathers or mothers should be punished for their crimes; however, their children are innocent.
