Answer:

Of course, everyone has a different opinion. Executing someone because they've taken someone's life is revenge, not justice. The death penalty is used for control not justice. By using the death penalty arbitrarily, authorities set shifting definitions for what's “unacceptable” in society and what's an appropriate punishment.

Short Answer: Depends on who you ask.
