When is the punishment worst then the crime? Criminals are tried and sentenced to years of prison or parole. In some cases they are sentenced to  death. It is alright to punish the criminals, but to go as far as deciding when there life should be ended. It is not ours as humans to decide there fate. We didnt create life so we have no right to end it. It is the same as abortion; killing a life except in this case an adult life. Its still murder! No matter how bad the crime, we have no right  to  determine their time of death. It is a right that belongs to  God only!!
