When there is even a inkling of doubt a person should not be executed.
Or how about we just don’t execute people? I find the practice a little pointless and barbaric.
Some people don't deserve to live.
Yeah, no. That's not how morality works. People have an inherent right to life regardless of how you feel. Ending that life is a violation of that right, as long as that life is of a human. So the options are either don't kill people, or dehumanize people, and neither of those a good society makes.
