Death Penalty (Capital punishment) has in the past been practiced in virtually every society. Today, most countries are considered by Amnesty International as abolitionists (currently only 58 nations actively practice it, with 139 countries abolishing it), which allowed a vote on a nonbinding resolution to the UN to promote the abolition of the death penalty. However, over 60% of the world's population live in countries where executions take place insofar as the four most populous countries in the world (the People's Republic of China, India, United States and Indonesia) apply the death penalty and are unlikely to abolish it in the near future.
Here is a creative, simply beautiful, yet powerful anti-death penalty Public Service Ad produced for Amnesty International by Digital District, directed by Pleix.

Convinced to end death penalty?
How you can help then?
Join Amnesty and be active globally for human rights.
Still not convinced (like me?):
In my personal opinion, when a criminal commits a horrible, intolerable, destructive offense, give that person the option of life imprisonment (which can be cruel as well) without the possibility of parole plus restitution or death. Let the sinner choose how he'd like to spend/end the rest of his life. Have your valuable say in this sensitive issue.
