CMV: If you support the death penalty you are less than a human being.

The death penalty is inherently contradictory. Not only does it fail to prevent crime, but it encourages it. If a person is already sentenced to death, what is stopping them from killing another person, or several? The risk of being punished for a crime is something that isn't a factor for people on death row. <br><br>The death penalty not only doesn't prevent crime, but it encourage criminals who are already sentenced to death to commit more crime. <br><br>The death penalty is obviously extremely inhumane and violates a person's right to life. It doesn't matter what a person has done, they are still a human being with a right to human dignity, and to be treated as such. <br><br>Plus, it is extremely expensive and inefficient. <br><br>If you support the death penalty, you are less than a human being. You are not capable of compassion, empathy, and human decency. You are objectively and morally wrong. Your actions and views are so heinous that calling you less than a human being would be doing you a favor. <br><br>If you are able to change my view, I will no longer be a human being.
