Speaks Out

How important do you think it is for death row inmates not to
feel pain during their executions? Shira Moses Third-year,
art history “I think that they should feel some kind
of pain ““ not inhumane pain, but it shouldn’t be a
comfortable death because that’s part of the
punishment.” Eric Stevens Third-year, political
science “I would say it is important that we treat
them humanely when we’re going to execute them, because
we’re executing them for a crime so we need to hold ourselves
to a high standard.” Sepideh Afshar Graduate student,
microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics “I
think that nobody deserves to go through pain, but we all have to
pay for what we have done, so justice needs to be
served.”
