  • Can I Get a Witness From the Population?! Rubin, Jordan S. 2013 Binghamton Journal of Philosophy , Vol. 1 , Issue 1 , S. 87 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 2324-8718 | 2324-8726 10.5840/binghamton2013116 Abstract

    Successful implementation of the death penalty requires the govern­ment to kill its citizens. Not surprisingly, this practice is controver­sial. One of the most polarizing aspects of capital punishment is what some people—proponents and opponents of the penalty alike—see as its ultimate, definitive nature. However, in this article, I analyze a feature of the death penalty that citizens of all political stripes take for granted: the afterlife. First, I attempt to establish the afterlife’s perti­nence to the death penalty. Second, I find that, due to the uncertain nature of the afterlife, capital punishment must be abolished. Third, I propose a replacement punishment, and explore absurd outcomes of my theory to test its durability.
