Where do you stop?
Well we have people who die from weed wackers, people who die from brushing their teeth, people who die from using a toaster or drying their hair.
Zero is impossible.
So from there its a societal choice. It'll come down to money and sentiment.
But the tens of thousands of heinous cretins that delight in inflicting immense cruelty on their victims do not warrant existing.
And any alternative you propose will have errors, deaths and horrors with it as well.
We're humans, we're flawed, either choice has positive and negative components.
I wish to value human life. Brabarous murderers have stopped being human to me and destroying them affirms my appreciation of humanity and eradication of its enemy.
It is a profoundly subjective choice and I truly do not believe there is a correct reasoned answer but a gut-level expression of value and perspective.
I do believe any one who is proven to have been falsely imprisoned, condemned, executed MUST be compensated.

uh, how, exactly, do you propose to "compensate" someone who has been wrongly executed?
