Not the answer

This post is well written and addresses a valid issue concerning capital punishment. Capital punishment for cases such as child molestation may cause further trauma for victims. There is also a substantial risk that this punishment would be used in a racially discriminatory way. I do not believe that child molesters can be "cured" however I do not think that killing them should be the answer. States should not be allowed to bypass what qualifies for capital punishment.
