I don't view it as compromising on my humanity. Do you feel uncomfortable around COs and others who work in prisons? Probably not because they're just working a job like the rest of us do.

And please don't say, "well that's different." Why is locking someone up for life in a prison more humane than just killing them? Personally it seems arbitrary to pick death as the line where our humanity ends. And if it's arbitrary than certainly there are some cases where, you know what, yeah it's worth just killing someone.

As a society we're willing to go to war over oil and let corporations pollute the environment and interfere with governance with basically zero consequences, yet somehow capital punishment is taking things too far.
