As the death penalty generally applies in cases of extreme violence (except in certain particularly generous countries or in the case of very numerous crimes which then fall under the amnesty regime), it seems to me contradictory that a society, via the judiciary, uses the violence which it claims at the same time to combat.
Anxious nevertheless to find a compromise between opponents and supporters of this sentence, I propose a mode of execution, admittedly slow, but infallible: death by old age.

I think, and hope, that this reasonable and measured proposal will win over a large number of countries where this penalty still applies.

Of course, sensitive souls will object that the end is sometimes painful, I readily agree, but we must still balance the acts that are at the origin of this condemnation ...

Yes, but the hairs hindered the action of the blade.

Besides, afterwards, we always cut the hair of the condemned in order to free their necks!
