I totally oppose it--it is only revenge. It does not act as a deterrent. I believe in the sacredness of all life. If a person commits a terrible crime like murder or terrorism, I am fine locking them up for the rest of their lives. And, by the way, executing them costs MORE than prison for life--the appeals and legal expenses cost a fortune! And as someone pointed out, there are too many mistakes--one state a few years ago got rid of it because 40% of the men on death row were found, by DNA testing, to be innocent.
