Death Penalty - Yes. Absolutely. No question. As long as they can prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the person is guilty, then the person should die.
Age of consent - Hard one. Having a niece that got pregnant at 13, then had a baby at 14, i really would have to say that the age of consent should be lowered to 14/15. Having worked extensively with children who are having sex, and seeing the consequences - a baby is the nicest thing you're gonna get from unprotected sex - i think again it should be lowered, so that the children that are having sex can make informed decisions about keeping themselves safe. A good many pregnancies and S.T.I.'s could be prevented if we only talked to our children more, instead of assuming that because the age of consent is 16, then they aren't going to have sex till they are 16 - I really think lots of parent's and teachers need reality checks on this one.
