Message: [QUOTE="Rallywagon, post: 13515083, member: 198911"] I'm in agreement with Jezza. I think people should be allowed to have free agency over themselves and their lives. But I don't think it should be an option for avoiding responsibility or punishment. My person take, but if someone killed my daughter for example, I would be pissed if the person was allowed to off themselves rather than living through the punishment. To me, that's not justice. Justice would be that person taking the consequences of their crime, not ducking out on it by death. And, since I think I can see the question coming. No, I don't like the death penalty for the same reason. And I know you take Danoff is that it's a great tool to use as a threat to drive for plea seals and whatnot. I don't agree, but I will caveat and say, at least with the death penalty, it's an unavoidable punishment, and not everyone going to jail wants to die. I can see the deterrent. But allowing criminals to free kill themselves, I feel, avoids consequences and thus proper justice for those wronged. [/QUOTE]
