The business reflection that I chose to write about is lawmakers considering bringing back old-fashioned executions for state that still use capital punishment. As of now, some states use lethal injection drugs, when dealing with execution methods, but are now concerned that lethal injection drugs are in short supply and questioning there effectiveness. There were two lawmakers from Missouri and Wyoming that are in favor of bringing back and older styles of execution, such as: the firing squad, electrocution, gas chambers, and various other methods.
I honestly am not sure what to think of this article, because I am completely against the death penalty for starters; I think that bringing back methods that delay these criminals death is inhumane, on the flip side they crimes they have committed could have been just as bad, if not worse. A professor of criminal justice at a university in Missouri said, "some lawmakers simply don't believe convicted murderers deserve any mercy." Which I feel, all depends on the type of crime the criminal committed, but I also am not sure as to whether they can have different outcomes (as in a person-to-person basis), if one criminals wrongdoings are worse then another. Personally, I think that if the courts are going to go through all that time at trials and in court then they should also discuss what the method of the death penalty would be suitable for that person. if they deserve a slow painful death or if it should be quick.
I thought this was a very different article then the ones I was writing about before.
