I can't see how the death penalty can be a punishment as the one that needs the punishment cannot experience the punishment. Cutting off body parts is a punishment, executing someone is just a preemptive measure. (or revenge)

My hair has my genes, the baby has it's own. Why is that so hard to concede?
I thought you were having difficulty calling a fetus a human. Is my perception correct?
