In the Alan Keyes v. Barack Obama debate on the death penalty, both candidates present
different perspectives on the enforcement and morality of capital punishment. Analyze the

should be applied fairly and with caution. Discuss the ethical implications of capital punishment

on whether the death penalty can ever truly be a fitting punishment despite concerns about
human rights. Your response should be at least 500 words.
