Survey
As part of my final exam for morality class, we are supposed to take a survey of a moral issue in society today and use the results from 30-40 people to write a paper. I chose the topic of the death penalty. If you could fill out this short survey it would really help me out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I do not believe that human life can be regarded as an economically quantifiable value. Human life is the aim of all economies, not a means. Thus, putting a price tag on it is impossible.
B) NO
C) Sorry, I can't answer this. I agree with NemesisZero.
2) No
3) No two people are of equal "worth", so a value would be meaningless.

Whatever the amount it takes to raise them.
2. NO.
3. If I had to put a value to life, I suppose it would be whatever their life was insured for.
No
Life has no quantible value for wihtout life there is no value.
NO

NO

A pocket full of change. There will always be more humans, and odds are if they were tryed and convicted for something punishible by death then they deserve it and the human race will be better with their death.
2) No
3) Depends, if we are talking eastern womens they are probably 10 grands while african s is probably 2k
4) No problem
2 no
3 Human life is priceless. However, if someone has commited a crime worthy of the death penalty or is about to commit a crime that could threaten another person's life, I would not hesitate to kill them (in selfdefense or defense of others).
2) NO
3) The value of human life is about $1.95
2) NO

Life not the composition of the human body. =\
2) No.
3) Tree fiddy. I mean, whatever their life insurance policy states. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Might I add: If someone has done something bad enough to award them with a happy needle to send them straight to hell, then I would be more then happy to allow it to happen. It will make the world a better place.
B) No

Ranges from either priceless to $0. If we're talking world dynamics, it's $0, if we're talking events that effect individuals (ie not looking at things in the long term) it's priceless.
Yes- One of my older friends had a dad that is on row right now.
While I don't think you can, I would say reparations to what ever he/she is worth. You can't put a price tag on life, but whatever the person is worth should be paid off to keep life going for a while.
.A) YES
.B) NO<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes. Definately. Aside from the fact that I find it completely immoral and hypocritical to put murderers to death (you too become a murderer), there are always the wrongfully convicted to are executed. It also becomes too much like a spectator event....

Nope. I thankfully live in a country with no death penalty (go Canada).

Can you replace it? Exactly the same? Didn't think so. Therefore, no price tag can be placed on it. Until we can reanimate the dead with NO ill effects...
Edit: spelling

A) No
B) No
C) I agree with the majority on this one, priceless.
Is that with tax or without? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
1) Yes. I don't believe in such "punishment" I mean once he's dead.. he can't learn from it. And it's not as if it'll bring whatever he did wrong back.
2) No
3) Depends who... But I don't think you can "buy" someone's right to live.
.A) YES
.B) NO
A tricky question. I am a christian and the Bible clearly teaches that men are not to judge, that God should be the only one doing the judging, that if someone steals from you, give them more, let them have whatever they want from you, if they hit you on one cheek, turn to them the other. However, I'm a realist. There are some messed up people in this world. So my answer is, No. The Death Penalty should stay. I'm also from Texas. lmao.
2) Do you know anyone who has been directly affected by the death penalty?
.A) YES (please specify relation)
.B) NO
Nope.
3) If you had to put a price tag on human life (assume it is someone you don't know), what would it be?
(please specify)
Priceless.

2)No.
3)Humanity as a whole- about two bucks. Individual people though, that's priceless.
