It violates the right to life- the most important human right. Governments can release someone who was found to be not guilty who was sentenced to prison, but the death penalty can’t be reversed. Many governments use it to silence political opponents. Executing someone is revenge- it does t give justice to a victim and their loved ones. Every day, men, women, and even children (in some countries) wait for their execution. Even if they committed a heinous crime, they still deserve basic respect. Human rights apply to everyone, even the worst criminals.

I agree because death penalty shouldn't even be legal it just takes one life after another and as long as it's available to the judge or our economy then they will make random excuses to use THAT sentence.
Then what is going to deter criminals from committing more crimes, which would lead to other people thinking committing crimes is the only way to survive, when criminals don't get the justice they deserve
