    What I’m saying is you can’t un-kill someone, everything else up to that point is a lot more reversible if that does end up coming into question. Now I’m not saying the whole experience isn’t going to leave its mark but there’s literally no going back once you’ve made someone dead. It’s one of the bigger issues behind the ethics of the death penalty.

      While that is a point that can be made, if you’re bringing into question the validity of the judgement of a state you have bigger problems that need to be addressed first; because it is not more ethical to torture someone that knows they’re innocent for decades in hopes a less corrupt society magically develops to save them.
