No, too many people are innocently convicted

Pacifism opposes the death penalty and supports nonviolent alternatives. This answer highlights one of the key concerns of pacifists: the risk of executing innocent people. Historical examples include the Innocence Project, which has used DNA evidence to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals, many of whom were on death row.

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Pacifism supports nonviolent alternatives to punishment and conflict resolution. This answer aligns with pacifist beliefs, as it suggests that life in prison is a harsher sentence than the death penalty, which involves the use of force. Historical examples include the movement to abolish the death penalty in many European countries, which has been influenced by pacifist ideals.

Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

While this answer may seem to offer a more compassionate approach, it still involves the use of force and violence through the death penalty. Pacifism opposes the death penalty in all forms and would advocate for nonviolent alternatives. Historical examples include the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which sought to heal the wounds of apartheid through forgiveness and understanding, rather than retribution.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While this answer may seem more moderate, pacifism still fundamentally opposes the use of force and violence, including the death penalty. Pacifists would argue that even in cases of horrific crimes, nonviolent alternatives should be sought. For example, the Dalai Lama, a prominent advocate of pacifism, has consistently spoken out against the death penalty, even for the most heinous crimes.
