Portfolio entry # 12 A video - Death penalty

Key words: death penalty; crime; crime rate; criminal chaos; abolish; capital punishment; irreversible; execution; horror; human right; torture; equality; human being.

Key phrases: "When a country abolishes death penalty they are not plunged into criminal chaos. " "Every one has the right to live and no one should be subjected to torture." "The death penalty is irreversible." "They crossed the line but we do really want to join them?"

In the following video, Jeremy Irons talks about death penalty and outlines his arguments against it saying that:
- Death penalty does not guarantee a lower crime rate. Even if it did, it would not be acceptable.
- Irreversibility is an important point to consider since you cannot bring back the dead. 
- Inadequate legal representation means capital punishment.
- The abuse of a basic human right is evident: the right to live.
- The panic of waiting for your death implies a psychological and physical torture.
- Equality means human rights are applied to all human beings. Equality is not social discrimination. Equality is not arbitrariness.
- People and the judicial system should be able to differentiate imprisonment and execution.
