If you want to kill someone because you judge they are not fit to exist, why slowly beat them to death and port acid in the wounds and all the gruesome things you talk of? If they are judged unfit to live surely you kill them, erase them, as quickly and easily as possible.
What is the value, the benefit, the purpose, of making someone who has caused great pain to others suffer great pain?
A few answers I can deal with
Will it bring back those who died? No.
Will it give their loss any meaning? No.
Will it give their loss any greater dignity? how can it.
Does it make the relatives of the lost feel better? I hope not
Does it deter others? Definitely not.
SO again, I ask, and really want to know, what is the value of giving horrible tortures to the worst criminals?

You obviously make good points. Im looking at this from more of an eye for an eye perspective. BUT, even though it will not bring the dead back or any of the such you mentioned, I do believe it will make the victim's families feel just slightly better.
This is just personal though, maybe they would not agree. Hell, maybe they would just think prison for life is suitable. But if it were my case, and some ape fuckers murdered my family, the more pain they suffer, the better it would make me feel. If they just get a quick death, they are probably thinking to themselves: "oh, this isnt too bad, we just murdered 6 innocent people with baseball bats slowly and painfully, but atleast we dont have to suffer like them or their families did and will".
Try seriously putting yourself in a situation where your family was murdered in this brutal fashion by some failures. Think about it, and honestly tell me if you would not want them to suffer in the worst way imaginable.
