    Giving the state the power to take life from its citizens is open to abuse when the wrong person gets into power. Not allowing it in the first place is how you go towards stopping that sort of thing.

      We don’t seem to have a problem giving the state power to take life from other countries’ citizens, though. The only way you can stop that is if the other country is more powerful than yours.
