An eye for an eye?

Description:

The death penalty issue has become the epitome of the unresolvable issue, the question that people answer on the basis of gut reactions rather than logical arguments. In the second edition of An Eye for An Eye? Stephen Nathanson evaluates arguments for and against the death penalty , and ultimately defends an abolitionist position to the controversial practice, including arguments showing how and why the death penalty is inconsistent with respect for life and a commitment to justice.
