How can a society which calls itself "civilized" allow murderers to stay alive for so long?
There's so much deeply disturbingly wrong with it that I don't even.

There is a long list of "murders" that were found not guilty after being executed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_execution
Beyond that, some confessed murders go on to contribute to society, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Burroughs
Feel free to respond with your reasonings, though think in the end they'll fail to be reasonable.
Personally I am not particularly for or against capital punishment, because I don't think the subject is researched well enough. And seeing as this is morally a problematic subject with regards to human rights ETC. I don't really have too many hopes it would ever be properly studied.
