Hi all.. I'm wondering if someone would help put forth some strong arguments about whether they think (both morally and politically) whether capital punishment should still exist.

I've been doing some research and I'm divided and would like someone to push back and provide insight into their own beliefs.

I'm particularly interested in the notion that "we shouldn't give the state the power to carry out the DP"

Don't we as a people vote to have the DP? And don't we allow the state to somewhat govern many aspects of our lives for freedom and liberty?

Thanks
