A friend of mine made a very good point the other day. The possibility that life exists elsewhere in this universe is good, but we haven't found evidence of something like us, or approaching anything like us at this point.
So apparently what we have is something special, with that in mind, we shouldn't take life and death so lightly.

People don't (usually, because I'm sure someone will find an exception) get put on Death Row unless the crime was pre-meditated, calculated, and heinous. Nine times out of ten, if somebody gets sentenced to death, the crime they committed to end up there is far worse than the shot of poison they receive when they die. I don't always believe in the "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" mentality but with the death penalty, I almost think we have become too lenient.
