Tara's eyes are shadowed as she greets the class, tension permeating her body.

"I'm sure you've all heard the announcement by now. Angelus has been accused of killing Kitty Pryde - which leaves us short one TA, but up an interesting Ethical question.

"Today we're going to discuss punishment for crimes done."

Re: Capital Punishment

I think capital punishment should be eliminated. The mentally ill, poor, and racial minorities are over-represented among those executed. It also has not been proven to be an effective deterrent, is more expensive than keeping someone jailed, and I think it unnecessarily further traumatizes another community - the loved ones of the criminal. And I'm not a Christian, but you can find support for an anti-death penalty stance from the gospels if you want to, just like you can find justification for anything in the Bible.
