Should Murderers be allowed to kill themselves?

[IAN 2411]

The poor victim never had the chance to comit suicide, then why the hell should the murderer have the choice? The whole point of him not getting executed was so that he would go to prison and hopefully be tormented by his henius crime. You argue about the repulse you have for hanging a murderer MMI, but you would willingly let the same murderer kill himself, that smells of double standards. It also shows that you were making a mockery of the question asked in the other thread, when i asked for a life for a life, and you argued against it. What you are stating now, is that it is alright for a murderer to die by lets say hanging himself in his cell, as long as your hands and concience is clean.

As I stated at the outset, I have no strong views on this question, but I inclined towards not allowing it, because the only people likely to want it are probably incapable of making a sane decision about it. However the question intrigues me, and I have put it forward for dicussion, and I have tried to look at it from more than one angle.

I do not resile one bit from anything in the other thread because I believe that the death penalty is judicial murder, and those who support it are no better than the killer himself.

Go back to the other thread if you want to discuss this.
