Before we get the usual "but what if we execute an innocent man" argument. Innocents die in droves every year. While the number of murderers in prisons increases year by year. So pick a better argument against the death penalty....

Killing people to show its wrong to kill people is a bit hypocritical do you not think? Those that commit murder and are found guilty should serve a full life sentence and it should be till they die unless they are proven innocent. Keeping them in prison is more civilised and after all we are meant to be better than animals are we not.
As Maggy said what if it was loved one of yours wrongly convicted and the last thing you see them do is twitch at the end of a rope or shake with convulsions in an electric chair? and who do you think you are to try and cut off a whole group of people who are strongly against the death penalty because of miscarrages of justice?
