sure, this is really extrem, but the point remains.

No it isn't a matter of definition...its murder!

So you must also say that the death penalty is murder (no matter what you
achieve with it).

Nope, abortion and euthanasia are issues of convenience. A life is taken to
make someone elses life easier...that is murder. The death penalty is
punishment..you kill, you will be killed. period.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

you define (see above: it is all a matter of definition) the death penalty
as punishment. fine. I define it as murder. It is a convenient (?) way to
get rid of the persons that do not fit into the scheme. See? your own
words, just with another topic.
