I have two papers two write for my Medterm in Philosophy thats due next week, Friday. For one question i would like people to answer, because i'm highly curious for how people will answer
( Read more... )
And before i forget, when M.r. have been put on trail [least the articles i read so far] they dont get a fair trail because lots of courts dismiss/dont tlak about important information of the M.R. persons background-it being with proof of their m.r. and their trouble of comprehension/etc.
The M.R. people that had the death penalty were just like the M.R. person with his friends who tried to convince him of robbing a store, or killed someone without even knowing what "death" and "murder" means and is. Why should they be put on the death penalty?
Here's a question, and i have my own answers for this question but i'm curious of your answer.
What would bring a person to the death penalty? A normal person with 100+ I.Q. and a mentally retarded person?
You said before, that if it was intentionally, they should be put on trail or however you word it. I agree, but what clarify's as "intentionally" to a m.r. person who thinks like a child?
A 5-year-old child can say to his friend, "i hate you. you're mean to me." while holding a real gun that he thought was a toy, while shooting his friend. Or putting a pillow over his head that eventually killed his friend. as i pointed out many times, a child his age can not comprehend death and the cause and effect when it comes to situations like that. Should he be on death row because he intentionally put a pillow on his friends head, not knowing that it would permentally kill him? Of course, he should be punished for his crime, but putting someone on the death penalty for killing someone when they dont have the level of knowledge and abstract thinking of knowing what they did, i believe is wrong.
You didn't answer my other question before: Would you put a child on death row? Why or why not?
I have no idea if all of this makese sense because i babbled again and i'm pressed for time. so, excuse me if it's weird and doesnt make sense.
