Humans have, for centuries, millennium even, decided that killing humans is morally wrong. I would have to agree. As such, I cannot morally support the death penalty. No one deserves to have their life cut short by another, even rapists and murderers.

True, true. But if morality was based on every individual's perception of it, society as it is could not exist. We collectively make laws, to create order out of chaos.

[quote]True, true. But if morality was based on every individual's perception of it, society as it is could not exist.[/quote] It isn't based on what every individual perceives. Some individuals act immorally. They might try to justify their actions, but their reasoning won't hold up.
