Woman flushes newborn down TOILET!

Obviously what this women did is far more reprehensible than calling for her death/torture, but that doesn't mean that wishing death or pain upon her is right or has any benefit. What would her death accomplish, really? Certainly her actions cannot be undone. If we understood what it is that makes people do such heinous things, rather than just viewing them as "evil", as some essentially inhuman entity, we could probably prevent far more innocent suffering than may ever be prevented by just killing anyone who commits a terrible crime.

You shouldn't kill anyone as it helps nothing, and hell doesn't exist. Besides, even if it did, why should someone deserve an infinite punishment for a finite crime?

I don't believe in hell but if it did exist I hope those who have caused intentional suffering suffer for eternity and you know what I could not even care less.

You've tripped yourself up there, since 'intentional suffering' also includes those who dish out retributive justice, meaning the death penalty since that's an intentional affliction of pain. I have a question though, if you advocate the death penalty so strongly, could you be an executioner? Would you be able to drop the guillotine on this woman's head, or give her that lethal injection, maybe hang her from the neck until death? If you are then fair play, however that means you'd deserve to be in hell alongside her.

So... she didn't know she was pregnant?

That depends, what we deem intentional suffering and suffering by justice.

I don't see why I couldn't give a lethal injection to a disgusting human being like the murderers, pedophiles and rapists who walk this earth. But I won't need to, it is very much possible to have a machine do thy bidding. And it would not be a job opening I would be interested in, but some people would.

So you got a person A.

Person A is being severely bullied by a bunch of people (I.e intentionso suffering). So person A kills tthese people making him a murderer. Now person A is killed for causing intentional suffering against those who caused intentions suffering against him. But hang on wasn't person A just following your mentality?

Crimes like this help you understand why the death penalty exists, even if you're on the fence about whether it's morally justified or not.

This horrible and evil woman flushed her new born down a toilet.
Th child has been placed in care and has suffered brain damage, is deaf and nearly blind! This is the most cruel act i have ever seen!

If you're a nutty Texan, perhaps it does. I don't think in general civilised society a woman committing infanticide rallies people to the pro-capital punishment camps.

That's a very bad crime. Honestly, if that happened here in Texas, I can almost guarantee you that she would be receiving a lethal injection if she were found to be of sound mind. Of course, if it was post-partum depression or psychological instability, then she needs serious help.

Crimes like this help you understand why the death penalty exists, even if you're on the fence about whether it's morally justified or not.

The luxury of life? Her life doesn't seem to be that great to be honest!

But it's still hypocrisy, teaching people it's wrong to be violent by inflicting violent punishments on them, makes sense.
