Death Penalty - Maybe... if a convicted murderer wishes to end his / her life, then why not? Ian Brady has wanted to die for years, so why force him to live? From what I read in the papers etc, the only real punishment long term offenders have is the withdrawl of freedom of movement. They appear to live in comfort without the pressures of having to support themselves by having to work to make ends meet. Not much of a punishment if you look at it that way.
Sex Offenders - 'therapy' doesn't work - often they are released and re-offend. Removal of the urge to offend can only be achieved by removal of the warped sexual desire - castration.
Age of Consent - Where there's a will, there's a way, unfortunately. The lower the age of sexual activity the more chance there is of contracting cervical cancer in women. I know - I paid the price for the fun I had at 15, I had to have a hysterectomy at 31. I thought I knew it all at 15, I took precautions against pregnancy, but I never gave a thought to the long term health implications. Please, please think of this if you are a teenage girl reading this posting - it CAN happen to YOU. I've shared something very personal and private with you in the hope that if just one girl takes notice, then she can be shared the pain and trauma I suffered.
