Death penalty is offered only to people in extreme cases where they are too dangerous to be returned to society. But for theft and such, the punishment still offers them a chance at redemption, a way to get back to a normal life later on. But if you chop-off their hands, you are not only making them a cripple, but also branding them a criminal for the rest of their life.
You can see your kids grow up, feel pleasure, eat pineapple, see the aurora borealis, enjoy comedy, sexual pleasures etc etc. all without a hand, or be dead !
"rest of their life"... you don't get that with death!
