Aggy's thoughts:
Who deserves the death penalty? Actor Jeremy Irons explores the inhumane nature of this punishment that targets the poor and vulnerable.

Excellent. I do not 'want to join them'. Instead of spending money executing often innocent people, we should be trying to find out why people do what they do and try to prevent the problems that cause it. It is said that the majority of such crimes is within families, why? What makes children kill? It is horrendous that we torture people and their families by keeping people on death row often for decades. Are we any better than them for allowing it?
A very simple and yet powerful argument for the abolition of the death penalty. I would like to see that broadcast around the world on all television stations and shown the leaders of every country.
Absolutely spot on.
We need more celebrities to support Amnesty International and to create more awareness of human rights issues. Thank you, Jeremy.
They may have crossed the line, but do we really want to join them? Nicely put. Made me think about how I act is more important than how 'they' have acted. A must see.
Excellent.
Excellent video - I hope it gets a wide audience.
Sobering thoughts.
