Strongly agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Welfarism would likely agree with this answer, as it opposes the death penalty and suggests an alternative punishment that could still serve as a deterrent to crime. Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole can be seen as a harsh punishment that protects society from dangerous criminals while avoiding the irreversible consequences of the death penalty.

Agree

No

Welfarism would generally lean towards opposing the death penalty, as it seeks to maximize overall welfare. The death penalty has not been proven to be an effective deterrent to crime, and there are concerns about the potential for executing innocent people. However, welfarism does not inherently oppose all forms of punishment, so the opposition to the death penalty may not be absolute.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While welfarism is generally against the death penalty, this answer allows for its use in extreme cases with undeniable evidence. This could be seen as a compromise between the need for justice and the concerns about executing innocent people. However, the overall focus on maximizing welfare would still make this position less favorable than alternatives that avoid the death penalty altogether.

Disagree

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

Welfarism would likely disagree with this answer, as it places the decision of punishment in the hands of the victim's family rather than an impartial justice system. This could lead to emotionally-driven decisions that may not align with the goal of maximizing overall welfare. Additionally, this answer still supports the use of the death penalty, which welfarism generally opposes.
