"What is your view on people killing to rid the world of evil so good can prosper?"- Mariah Key
In response to Mariah Key's question, I would have to say that it is wrong to kill, no matter the circumstances. Murder is morally wrong; no one has the right to take another's life. Gandhi famously said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Just because someone commits an evil act, it does not make it okay to retaliate. By ridding the world of evil through evil means such as murder, evil grows stronger. Although the evil individual might be destroyed, the evil is only transferred from the victim to the murderer because the murderer has now committed a sin. It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions; killing to rid the world of evil so good can prosper is still morally wrong and is not reasonable enough justification to condone the act of murder.
Q: Do you believe that it is within human rights to sentence criminals to the death penalty?
