(Trollish reply. I’m not in favor of the death penalty.) I take your point re: that a death penalty cannot be implemented if individual executioners need to kill individual people via guns. But I’ll counter that it also can’t be implemented in the 21st century via gas chambers, because your executioners will realize the parallel to Nazi Germany. (“Are we the baddies?”) To split the difference, how about having executioners execute people via drones armed with bullets?
I accept this compromise. To improve your suggestion even further, I propose we gamify the drone-operating app. Utopia is within our grasp. We need only the courage to do what must be done.
