The US killed a very high terrorist in Afghanistan. I can remember when Bin-Laden was killed. They celebrated it in front of the White House. In my country there was the question whether we really should celebrate when a human being gets killed.
Difficult ethical question.
I can understand that it can feel good when people feel more safe. For some there is also a sentiment of gratification. But I am against the death penalty. Though killing a terrorist is different to the usual death penalty. Sometimes it can be really difficult to catch them alive.
I think here in this forum a lot of people also see something positive in death. So maybe the death penalty/getting killed is not as bad as rotting in jail forever.
I think this is an interesting point. But this probably also depends on whether the individual wants to continue living and whether s/he clings to life.
What is your opinion on that?
