Palin Explains Why Raped Women Should Be Forced ToBear child
The notion of life in and of itself may be clearly definable and homogeneous but surely anyone can agree that the standard of life various people enjoy varies. So surely the satisfaction derived from that life does not originate purely from being alive, but from enjoying the time you spend on this earth. Going by that argument and considering the notion we have considerable power of when to bring new 'life' into the world surely it's not too much of a leap of faith to argue we also have the power to ensure that when we do so, we leave that child with the greatest potential to accomplish whatever they wish within society? In an ideal world sure, every unwanted baby will be handed over to a loving family, but until that comes to pass why should an innocent child have to suffer through a life of lovelessness, underachievement and perceived inferiority that could potentially occur as a result of being adopted or left to fend for themselves as an orphan? Sure you could argue this is a result of underfunded or failing government programmes, or social inequality but the problem still stands.
Totally off that topic, the abstract notion that 'life' is morally sacred and precious questionably defies our preordained instincts. Women in third world countries tend to have more children, arguably as a unconscious reaction to the relative decreased chance of each child's survival and the need to pass on their genes.

For example, my stance against the death penalty is a matter of principle. It is a fact that the death of a murderer often gives the family and friends of the victim closure and a feeling of justice. To deny the death penalty is to cause many people to suffer for the rest of their lives. But the death penalty is wrong because if even one innocent person is executed, it is too many. Monsters may be living semi-comfortable lives on our taxpayer dollars, families may be constantly harrowed up by the thought that their loved-one's murderer is still living, but the death penalty is still WRONG. I carry the same logic into the topic of abortion. Many children may be born unwanted and unloved and have to live off of taxpayer money, women may have to suffer even more pain by carrying a child and then knowing that it is living, but abortion is STILL WRONG.
I suspect what you're really talking about here is revenge not justice or potentially closure, in which case I'd disagree. As I see it justice should not be about punishment but about be about protecting social order and the public good, it would be seeing to it that the perpetrator never commits whatever they did again, so I don't see it as being analogous to an eye for an eye kind of thinking. Sure punishment is an inherent side-product and deterrant aspect of say getting jail-time but it's not the point of it. So in that sense unless you're considering any crime an in-mate could commit against another as a result of not being put to death, applying the death penalty serves not judicial purpose.
