 My tenth post: The death penalty.

According with DPIC, More than 8500 people have been sentenced since the 1970s. The death penalty discourages criminals from committing serious crimes. And according to the Washington state government. The methods of execution have gradually become more humane over the years, so the argument that the death penalty is cruel and unusual is not valid. Without the death penalty, some criminals would continue to commit crimes. The death penalty is not revenge, it is retribution. Retribution is not the same as revenge. Retribution is a necessary part of the punishment process. The legal system is constantly evolving to maximize justice. Just because the legal system can make a wrong decision does not mean that the death penalty is wrong.

Alphonse Karr says: "I agree that societies decree abolish the death penalty; but that murderers begin to abolish it", but today I say that I am in favor of murderers and criminals being seen in the same way that they saw their victims, we must not abolish the death penalty, we must abolish criminals. And of course not, the death penalty is not inhuman, the acts that murderers commit against others are inhuman.

Here is a fragment of an article that I read about why in Mexico the death penalty is abolished.

"Already in independent Mexico, in 1835, the first Penal Code of the country was drafted that contemplated the death penalty. The accused was publicly taken to the gallows and passed "by arms or by a club."


The reform made to the Penal Code in 1869 abolished the measure. However, it was reinstated two years later.


The sentence was abolished at the federal level in 1929, according to an analysis carried out by the Center for Social Studies and Public Opinion of the Chamber of Deputies.


So can't it be restored again?

No, this is due to Mexico's signing of the American Convention on Human Rights, known as the 'Pact of San José'.


Signed by the country in 1969, (but approved by the Senate until 1980), the pact establishes restrictions on the death penalty in the nations that signed it.


In its fourth article, which deals with the Right to Life, states that "the death penalty will not be reestablished in the States that have abolished it."


Therefore, if the Legislative Power were to approve the return of the measure, it would put the country in a situation of violation of international treaties signed by Mexico on human rights".

If you want to continue reading about this, you can consult here, this website has good writings and good information: 

I follow the page in Spanish, however, I do not know if there are versions in English.

I think that Mexico is in a difficult situation with regard to the death penalty, what do you think?

 My fifth post: GMO pros and cons. According to the non-GMO project: "A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism, or another organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods". So, what is the problem with GMOs? Since everything has good characteristics, it also has bad characteristics. Pros:  1- Many crops have been genetically modified, in this way they obtain a gene that generates poison for pests, this keeps the harvest alive, and do not worry, the poison is not lewd for humans. 2-There is another gene in crops that have been modified to make them resistant to harsh environments, such as droughts.  3- Even genetic modification is used to improve the flavor of some crops. SUMMARY ACCORDING HEALTH LINE:  The main concerns aroun...

 My second post. My second post: what is my position about feminism? First of all, what is feminism or the feminist movement? According to the international women's development agency (IWDA), feminism is "  about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It’s about respecting diverse women’s experiences, identities, knowledge, and strengths, and striving to empower all women to realize their full rights. It’s about leveling the playing field between genders, and ensuring that diverse women and girls have the same opportunities in life available to boys and men". Being this a movement that seeks to revolutionize the perspectives of stereotypes imposed on women in the most remote times, why is there so much controversy and reluctance, even by women themselves towards this movement? I think that we should all be feminists, for the 10 women who die in Mexico every day, for Fernanda, for Claudia, for Susi, for all the women who have been abused and those who have not,...
