Este documento resume la historia y el debate actual sobre la pena de muerte. Explora los orígenes de la pena capital, su aplicación en diferentes épocas y culturas, y su estado actual en varios países. También analiza los argumentos a favor y en contra de la pena de muerte y concluye que aunque es un tema complejo, debería reservarse para los casos más extremos para disuadir posibles delincuentes.
Este documento presenta argumentos a favor y en contra de la pena de muerte. A favor se argumenta que es un castigo equivalente al delito cometido y que disuade a otros de cometer crímenes. En contra se argumenta que no se ha demostrado que disuada, que existe el riesgo de condenar a un inocente, y que quitar una vida no compensa otra vida perdida. En resumen, debate si la pena de muerte es un castigo justo o si existe el riesgo de errores irreparables.
Electrocution occurs when an electric current passes through the human body, which can cause injury or death. The severity of injury depends on factors like current strength, duration of contact, and path of current through the body. Sources include appliances, power lines, and lightning. Treatment involves promptly beginning first aid (DRABCD), immobilizing fractures, treating for shock, and seeking immediate medical help. Electrical burns should be cleaned and dressed.

de mort, dès 1786.

PROCEDES D’EXECUTION
10. ARGUMENTS POUR
Le châtiment : la peine de mort s'impose
comme le moyen le plus efficace pour " rendre
justice ".
La peine de mort décourage les proches des
victimes à " rendre justice " en marge des
tribunaux.
D'un point de vue économique, une
exécution coûte basiquement moins cher
qu'un emprisonnement à vie.
11. La prévention : la peine de mort prévient le
retour des dangereux criminels dans la société
et ainsi d'éventuelles récidives.
La dissuasion : elle dissuade d'autres
personnes de commettre des crimes graves.
12. ARGUMENTS CONTRE
La race de l'accusé peut influencer le
verdict.
La torture et la cruauté sont
mauvaises.
Dans de nombreux cas, l'accusé est
indigent et doit faire appel à des avocats
commis d'office.
13. La peine de mort est une violation
des droits fondamentaux de l'être
humain
Les procès criminels sont faillibles.
La peine de mort réfute la
possibilité de réhabilitation et de
deuxième chance.
14. CONCLUSION
Ce sont souvent les pays qui se disent les plus
modernisés qui utilisent encore la peine de
mort . On peut alors se demander si l'homme
a autant évolué qu'il le prétend . Tout comme
ces ancêtres, ils règlent toujours ses
problèmes de violence par la violence, boucle
