Death penalty is barbaric. EU won't extradite people to the US if there is a chance that they might receive the death penalty.

On a tangent... I find it odd that those who are anti-choice in the abortion debate tend to be pro death penalty. Doesn't make sense to me.

But death penalty is bad. Period. Can't resurrect innocent people once they're executed.
