     I'm not in favor of the death penalty, in no small part because I think the crimes - mainly murder - for which it is applicable are not significantly deterred by the threat of that penalty.

     What if we applied it to crimes like failing to disclose product defects that result in deaths? Or for failing to maintain clean and safe production facilities (such as for food and medicine) that result in deaths? I bet the deterrence would be significant.
