It is with this that the death penalty should be abolished, if not on the grounds that it does not deter crime and wastes a lot of money, then on the grounds that our innate being knows it is impossible. Has not the bible said "What God has created, let no man put asunder." We CANNOT kill. From the true essence of our beings - death is impossible.
