I'm against the PREMISE that death is the harshest penalty to give a person.

If someone is in pain and terminal, why do we call death a release?
Why do we say that dead people are in a better place?
How do people convince themselves that sending an evil person to the eternal bliss of the afterlife is a good idea?

You know that they say death penalty cases cost the public more money than life in prison with no chance of parole? I'm not sure how that all works math-wise, but I think there's an auto-assumption that death is cheaper, and harsher, when it's not so clear cut as that.

It's unfathomable to some people that victims and loved ones actually forgive perpetrators, but they do. Square that internally before you state what you "know" people would do. (not that anyone has, but usually someone comes along and declares that they know what people would do yadda yadda.. No you dont.)
