Question Answered step-by-step Part 1: Moral Argument by Analogy Yesterday evening, just after 6… Part 1: Moral Argument by AnalogyYesterday evening, just after 6 pm, David Harris was executed by lethal injection at Angola State Penitentiary for the murder of his wife, Connie Harris. There is no denying that what Harris did was evil. He spent a lot of time coming up with a plan to murder his wife, including how to do it and when to do it. He even rehearsed the plan a few times in the days leading up to the murder. He deliberately took the life of another human being, and for that, he should be punished severely.But as horrible as his actions were, the State lowered itself to his level by executing him. In fact, the State acted just like Harris. They spent a lot of time planning when and how to kill him, and the prison staff that carried out the execution rehearsed the entire process multiple times in the days leading up to the killing. The State deliberately took the life of a human being. And what did the ritualized killing of David Harris accomplish? Nothing. Connie Harris has not been brought back to life by David Harris’ execution. The public is no safer than it would have been had David Harris spent the rest of his life in prison.
