both sides probably have their valid arguments.

instead of taking the extreme route, why not consider a “middle road” approach that may have a chance to solve this impasse?

whatever ills that motivated a person to crime, it will have to take a lot of patience and care to lead the person back to salvation. as a fallible being ourselves, we want people who have fallen from grace or come from unfortunate circumstances be given another life line to repent or correct their mistakes and foolishness.

prematurely terminating someone’s life before their time, especially at a young age, seems too cruel and hypocritical.

but letting the offender be confined indefinitely in modern dungeon may not be that brilliant either.

so…..

maybe we should consider removing or incapacitating one or more, depending the relevancy of the crime, the offender’s human faculties such as the five sense?

we all need sight to do things and no less when committing crime.

i never know of anyone with impaired vision or blind trafficking drugs – though it maybe possible but not without much difficulties.

who knows, removing the person’s sight, permanently or temporarily, may help to even rehabilitate the person better and faster?

i think losing of one’s sight not only prevent the person from returning to his previous crime(definitely reduces the offender’s effectiveness) but may strike as much fear, maybe more, as the whip – no need to resort to death penalty.

the point is, if you are blinded to responsibility and the value of someone’s live other than yours because of greed, misguided passion and loyalty etc, maybe you don’t deserve to keep your sight?

at least, they get to keep their lives and make something out of what remains, hopefully, also satisfies justice(more humane than death?) or sins repaid?

if the blind can make a decent living and be useful citizens, hopefully, the middle road solution will help to REGAIN THE OFFENDER’S SIGHT and lead to their reinstatement in society? – the irony.

worth a study perhaps?
