Thank you for expressing your ideas and for relating the story of the South African mother and daughter who went to get water. It serves as a heartbreaking reminder to treat one another with respect and compassion because each life has value.
The death penalty shouldn't be used, as this post's arguments for and against it concluded. You made the case that it discriminates, serves as a tool for the powerful, and exposes innocent individuals to execution. You also brought up the case of Ronald Ryan, who was executed but was shown to be innocent.
You also gave a brief overview of South Africa's history with the death sentence, noting that it was abolished in 1995.
Your post provides a thoughtful analysis of a challenging topic overall. I appreciate you sharing your viewpoint and asking my opinion on this.
