In theory that would be nice, but the human race has always been interested in lethal revenge. Even in the bible it was like that, people were killed for their sins. But if there is going to be the death penalty, I think the criminal should be killed in a manner worse than their victim. If a criminal shot someone in the head, shoot the criminal in the hands, the feet, and then in the eyes. Just kidding ofcourse, but I think murderers, child molestors, and terrorists should be in maximum amount of pain for maximum amount of time.
