Should We Kill?

This site is hoping to foster a dialog about the Death Penalty in the United States.
Each episode will focus on the last words of someone who we put to death. Do you have an opinion? Please comment, and let me know your thoughts.

Is it ever ok to kill a person?
Can everyone be rehabilitated?
Is the Death Penalty a deterrant?
Does killing heal victim's pain?
Is the Death Penalty Civilized?
Can we save innocent lives by killing?
Thanks
