A Voltage Shock

An invention the world could be better off without is an electric chair. The electric chair serves no other purpose but as a slow torture or death penalty device on criminals. It is more immoral to slowly kill a prisoner for a crime they have committed because of their unstable mental state. It’s a sick way to watch the criminal repent his offense by watching him suffer as thousands of voltage shock goes through their body. To get an idea of why this criminal was sentenced to this kind of death penalty is if he had held a child as a hostage and killed the child in front of the child’s parents and shortly after the police arrested him. He goes through a trial and sentenced to a death penalty by an electric chair. What good does it do that the criminal has to suffer the last minutes of his life in an electric chair just so the parents would feel somewhat pleased that the criminal got what he deserved? They might not know how that criminal could commit such crime in the first place or how that criminal lived his life. Every behavior a human does in life is based on how they were raised as a kid growing up. Even if the criminal had died in an electric chair whether or not the parents watched the process, the parents would still feel resentful towards the criminal. There were more moral methods such as lifetime community service or a life sentence in jail would have been more than sufficient enough. That criminal would have to live or suffer to remember all of the things he committed whether or not he felt guilty about them.
