Yes.
Treatment and confinement are two of our other options. With all of the frivolous shit we spend money on in this country, it seems callous to me to say that cost effectiveness is a good reason to support institutionalized killing.
Besides, it's not like killing people is cheap either. By the time we pay for their confinement and pay for court fees throughout their many appeals, killing ain't exactly a bargain. If you think that we ought to disallow due process as well in the name of savings... Well, we're probably too far apart from each other to have much of a productive conversation.
