ABSTRACT The most important general and theoretical horizons regarding bioethics refer to the foundation of ethical theories. We can talk about two main general categories in which we can place the ethical theories: teleological and deontological.

Capital punishment is the legal process where a person may have to pay the ultimate price with death. Many countries have abolished capital punishment, and these countries seem like they are on the right path. They think nobody deserves death no matter the circumstance or do they?

I chose to examine the death penalty debate between President Obama and Alan Keyes in 2004. At that time I basically stated that I sided with President Obama mostly due to Mr. Keyes claiming that the people who have/had the power to apply the death penalty were no better than the "slaveowners" of yesterday. While I see where he's coming from, I don't really agree with that point of view, but I'm not necessarily against to what he's saying either. That particular debate piqued my interest to dive

we made a wish…in old age everyone said start praying and wish for a peaceful death... and we made a wish…when death comes there was nobody to say make a wish…still we made a wish… Well, throughout our whole life we keep on wishing…keep on answering what or who we want to be.

Yes, I believe in the death penalty. Criminals that have spent years in prison sometimes can turn very heartless and some will never change.

In the case of the death penalty, I am against it because I believe people are sometimes wrongly convicted for crimes and they might have to pay for a crime they didn’t commit with their life. Another reason why I am against the death penalty is because in my opinion, I think that there is no greater punishment than holding the individual that committed a heinous crime to spend the rest of their life having to live with what they did. The death penalty violates the 8th amendment on cruel and unusual
