If a human cannot develop as a human, and if it has been clearly demonstrated to be a threat to human life (serial killers come to mind), cannot function in some way in the fabric of society, either use them for science or put the fuckers out of our misery. I'm sure the families of the victims of serial killers and rapists generally feel great that they are just rotting away. Tell ya what: If one of them raped or killed someone I loved, I'd kill him and melt the fucker down. There is a crossroad at which we can say that kinder and gentler is better. This doesn't strike me as that place.
Here's food for the thoughts regarding recidivism.

"The recidivism rate of psychopaths is roughly double that of non-psychopathic offenders ..."
Fuck that "teach people not to kill by killing people." I'm not jesus, and that sort of peace, love and understanding goes out the window with repeat rapists and killers. As I said, this particular aspect is not about "teaching" a lesson any more than killing off an ant colony is about teaching ants not to come into your house.
