      No, you’re arguing the decision to kill a living being against their will is problematic, in which I wholeheartedly agree.

      To be able to call the method problematic implies you find killing against will acceptable.

      This particular method (inert gas asphyxiation) is absolutely not problematic when killing people that choose to do so: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarco_pod

          So it’s okay to torture people if they’re a danger to others, but not kill them?

            If someone is eminent danger to others and there is no other option, it’s ok to kill them to in my book. But no it’s not ok to torture people at al. But I make a difference between torture and imprisonment: since I think prisoners deserve humane conditions and rehabilitation should be the goal, prison should not be like torture. If your prison is torture you doing it wrong.

              What happens when people commit more crimes because the consequence of imprisonment is not enough of a deterrent?

                They wont, we have pretty good data that rehabilitation is a rather good way to prevent recidivism. It helps if the society is in general build in a more social way. But sure there are some people who can’t be reintegrated into society and have to be kept in hopefully humane way separated from society, we do the same with extrem forms of mental illness.
