Personally I'm strongly against it. The justice system overall should not be a system on a mission for revenge, but rather an apparatus to keep the population safe, and to avoid such crimes in the future. |
So rather than simply eliminate the threat, you'd rather take it hostage for years costing Joe Taxpayer upwards of $30,000 a year to house, feed, and treat this individual for the next 50+ years, ultimately coming to the same result...the person dies. The only distinction is that now the taxpayer has paid $1.5 million dollars to keep this person alive.
