FoolThemAll,
That's a common philosophical question. And one that's not really useful except outside the classroom.
The question is, do we support the death penalty for child sodomy. Not child oral rape, not child vaginal rape, not child sexual abuse, not child prostitution, but child sodomy. Despite the obvious and ridiculous indiscrepancies inherent in the question, I personally do not support the death penalty for any crime.
I think it's dangerous. I think it's wrong. I think it's expensive. I think it doesn't act as a deterent (indeed, it actually encourages murder). And I think it's hypocritical.
The question of whether I would take one life to save another is a philosophical one; one that 99.99+% of us will never have to address.
