It's not just cruel but it would open up paths for other things. This is kinda hard to explain, but if punishment by death was used again then the whole value of life becomes a lot less...um... valueable. People may decide to take things into their own hands if they feel cheated about something, and they would have the excuse "well the government do it...". This opens up things like racism and things that are too bad to think about.
I hope this isn't too confusing lol, your debate has made me think hard! All I'm saying is that once you allow yourself to move to the next level of violence and hatred, then there is always room to make another step up, spiralling towards a lot of evil Why? It's human nature!
