My stance on the death penalty has been changing over the last few years due to the advancements in science in general and forensics specifically. Too many people have been exonerated who would have died had these changes in knowledge not come to light.
I think this is an example of something that would have to be the case for any moral statement to be called objective - that a declaration rests on facts of that matter and is only as good as those facts.
Does being convicted of a murder by a jury and sentenced to death change something about whether or not capital punishment is a violent act against another person, though?
