Capital punishment

In many countries all over the world, the capital punishment is strongly criticized for its inhumanity. I totally agree with this opinion. No matter what crimes people commit, they always deserve living.

As a saying, “Human beings have right of living, being free and purchasing their happiness”. This means that living is an essential and undeniable privilege anyone owns and no one can rob it from another’s hands. If we consider life as a most precious gift that God gives us, killing someone seems a violent action and goes against the moral of humans.

Some people can argue that the serious criminals should receive a capital punishment for what they had done. They may correct in some extend. However, I prefer the way that those one should be given opportunities to compensate for their mistakes and return the normal life. I believe it is generous and beneficial to our society. Criminals have their own abilities, and they can make their contribution to the society development such as building house, selling goods and so on.

On the other side of this coin, if we abolish (abrogate) this kind of punishment, we should evaluate the drawbacks of this decision as well as impose adequate policies to rehabilitate criminals. This methodology should be both strict and comfortable. Also, it has to correctly judge the availability of someone to normal life.

Capital punishment seems to be the final choice for those can’t be trained to return good citizens. Event that, however, I believe that kind of sentence is too inhuman, and if we try our best to help these criminals, they can compensate for their guilt and make our society better and better.

I think you've done a good job! Your opinions are expressed clearly and easy to follow. I agree that Justice can only quarantine seriously dangerous criminals, not emit them permanently.

*If we abolish (abrogate) this kind of punishment...
When we talk about kind of rules, laws... "abrogate" is the precise word. Well done!

*As a saying, "...". This means that living is...
I think you can rewrite it into one sentence. For example: As the saying "..." says, living is...
