Capital Punishment
Capital punishment, often known by the death penalty is the state sanctioned practice of killing someone as punishment of a crime. Most countries, including all the first world nations, have abolished capital punishment, exceptions to this are the United States, China and most Islamic states. The United States is the only Western country to still have use of the death penalty, this western country allows execution through the form of lethal injection, this method involves injecting the person with 3 drugs, all of which sedates, paralyses and stops the heart of the individual. Under the Human Rights this is classed as torture and inhumane treatment, which I whole heartedly believe that everyone should have their human rights protected no matter what they have done.
