I'm not and yes, they should have that option. I always believed that if you say it is your life, it is yours to do with as you please.
My point was that by taking a perp's life you are doing the same thing IN P{PRINCIPLE as incarceration from the standpoint that you are taking something you can never give back. The only difference being that the punishers can talk themselves into believing that if a mistake was made, they can make it right by tossing the ex-perp, current victim a few bucks, sweep it under the rug and go home to bed.
