My Thoughts:
Yes: It is a cruel and inhumane punishment, taking away the life of someone.
No: It can be a just punishment for heinous crimes, and could save the lives of others.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Türk condemned the death penalty during the Human Rights Council, highlighting its historical roots and public acceptance aided by physicians. Notably, Amnesty's 2023 report evidenced a 53% surge in global executions, with countries such as China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the USA leading. The report underscored how the death penalty disproportionately affects marginalized groups, with 325 drug-related executions and 11 nations threatening LGBTQ+ individuals with capital punishment. Despite some arguments for physician involvement, the summary stresses its violation of medical ethics. It calls for urgent global health leadership to denounce the death penalty's human rights abuses.
