    From the page: The death penalty is barbaric and belongs in the past. There is no evidence of the death penalty having any deterrent effect, life imprisonment without parole is just as effective a means of preventing re-offending, any system of capital punishment is bound to make mistakes, and who are we to take another human being's life in any case? Most countries have got rid of it already. However, a few - including China, the US, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan - still regularly put people to death. They should join the civilised world and make the death penalty history.

    A squidoo lens about one of the most distinctive features that separate civilization from berbary. The site is aginst the death penalty, but presents the opinions of both sides, and links to other references.
