There is too much room for error and bias when it comes to administering the death penalty. We could do everything humanly possible to “standardize” or make the process “objective” and it still wouldn’t be enough. Because we’re human. Further, who are we to say that any person is beyond redemption, beyond capacity for growth? Who are we to say that any person, even after committing a heinous offense, will never contribute anything good to the world again? We do not deserve such authority and we cannot shoulder such responsibility.
