I find it hard to phathom how somebody could be opposed to the death penealty, but be in favour of gulags and labotomy.
So you would rather torture a human than end their life quickly?
My feelings are that murderers, among other kinds of criminal, sacrifice a number of their human rights for a certain stretch of time, when they commit their crimes. And I'm not necessarily for lobotomy, I just consider it acceptable to perform on a murderous sociopath who refuses to cooperate and nothing else will work. Either that or have him publically shot in the middle of the gulag where every other prisoner can see what happens when you misbehave badly enough.
