Speaking in terms of practicality, I don't really see the point. There's no proof that it reduces murder, it's far more expensive to kill someone than to just imprison them for life, and there's always the chance that we'll kill someone who was wrongfully convicted. An imprisoned person can at least be released, but the dead can't be brought back.

So I don't really see the point in it.
