Reference no: EM131736523

1. There is considerable debate over whether the death penalty is an appropriate and viable penalty option for the United States now and in the future.

The debate covers a wide variety of topics from moral and religious perspectives to the practical implications of availability of drugs necessary for the lethal injection process.

Take some time to research this issue and really think about how you as an individual feel about the viability of the death penalty.

Then tell me whether we as a society should continue to support the death penalty as a criminal sanction in the United States. Support your position with a five point fact based argument. Fully cite each of the sources for all five points of your argument.

2. You have been called to jury duty in a trial in which the prosecutor is seeking the death penalty.

You are opposed to capital punishment but are conflicted about how you will answer the prosecutor's question regarding your stance. If you tell the prosecutor you oppose capital punishment he/she is likely to bar you from serving on the jury.

If you are not forthcoming about your opposition to the death penalty, you might land on the jury and be able to stop the execution of a human being. What would you do? Fully explain the rationale behind your decision.

The answer to these question must be at least 250 words each.
