WOK-Emotion&Reasoning
Concerned about security of some of my family because of:• 20 of the 58 criminals now out in the society.• Possibility of releasing more murderers including Oh
Won Choon.

AOK-Ethics
Capital punishment is ethical, and therefore, justified because:• A sacrifice of criminals will bring a greater happiness.• Potential crimes that death sentenced criminals might
produce will also be prevented.
Utilitarianism
![Page 30: Capital Punishment](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f03550346895dcdc0aa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
However, life of a criminal is as valuable as others’ lives. Making the most people happy is not always ethical.
