Life, Death, and Humanity
Capital Punishment is an issue of frequent and heated debates in America - one of the
last industrialized countries to retain this form of punishment. Lifton and Mitchell are
not supporters of the death penalty, but in this case they offer a new and unusual look
at the debate. Instead of simply presenting the usual arguments, they instead attempt to
describe the deep ambiguity with which Americans in general and those involved in
administering capital punishment view the matter. Along the way, the usual - and some
novel - arguments are discussed.
