This Fortnight’s debate will be a
debate between an Anti-Death Penalty Quote and a Pro-Death Penalty Quote from
two philosophers.
Anti-Death
Penalty Quote:
QUOTE: “It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn
an innocent one.”
AUTHOR:
François-Marie Arouet (1694-11-21 – 1778-05-30), better known by his pen name
Voltaire, was a French writer, deist and philosopher.
Pro-Death
Penalty Quote:
QUOTE: “Mercy
to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.”
AUTHOR: Adam Smith (baptized 16 June
1723 – died 17 July 1790 [OS: 5 June 1723 – 17 July 1790]) was a
Scottish moral philosopher and a pioneer of political economics.
