Steemit Engagement Challenge Season8 Week1: What is the value of life?

Hello steemians, I hope you are doing good.

Human right to life

The right to life is a right and a moral principle based on the fact that a person has the right to live a healthy and dignified life, enjoying freedom and not being killed by another human being or any encroachment affecting him where he was found in order to preserve his right to life and survival on this earth in order to live in it and leave a positive impact on it And preserving his human dignity.

Whoever encroaches on the human right to life is as if he encroached on human dignity and his most important rights

Thus, it is obligatory for a person to have the right to life, and we should not forget that the law protects this right, so it is not permissible to deprive this right and deprive the individual of his life arbitrarily.

Exceptions to the human right to life

In this life, there are some limitations to the right to life such as :

• When a person commits a crime punishable by death or execution, his right to life ends.
• When a person commits the crime of genocide, then the state may end the life of this individual, according to a fair judicial ruling.
• Each country mobilize citizens to defend their state in case of war even if this leads to ending the lives of many of its citizens.
• Etc..

Also we can consider that limiting the number of births in some countries is a restriction on the right to life

The death penalty

Death penalty or execution is to kill a person by judicial action for the purpose of punishment.

Resorting to the death penalty in some countries in which this penalty is applied reduces heinous crimes such as: terrorism, treason, sexual abuse and drugs, and it is a deterrent as it deters criminal thinking from committing serious crimes because the law in those countries stipulates the death penalty.

On the other hand it is considered The death penalty is a cruel, degrading, inhuman punishment that violates the human right to life.

It is considered a controversial punishment in most countries.

Against death penalty

• The death penalty is an inhumane punishment.
• The death penalty violates the human right to life.
• The death penalty doesn't have a deterrent effect, as it doesn't prevent people from committing crimes.
• Countries that apply the death penalty don't have a fair judicial system.
• It may be applied wrongly by the justice authorities, and if the convicted person is actually innocent, then this justice committed an error that can't be corrected after killing him.
• The death sentence is revenge, not justice.
• The death penalty perpetuates the idea of ​​killing rather than combating it.

In death penalty

• The reasons for the death penalty are commensurate with the act of murder.
• Ending the murderer's life will prevent him from committing new crimes and serve as an example to those who dare to approach these serious crimes.
• The families of the victims feel justice as they refrain from retribution or revenge themselves

In my country, Morocco, The authorities often turn the death penalty into a life sentence, but they still keep the penalty in the legal arsenal and have not responded to human rights demands to abolish it.

That's why we may forgive our relative's killer to save another life
