The Religeon of Peace at it again......
A SAUDI court may ask doctors to deliberately sever a criminal's spinal cord as a gruesome punishment for leaving another man crippled.
The court, in the northwestern province of Tabuk, has apparently sought medical advice on whether it is possible to surgically paralyse the defendant, who has not been named, Emirates 24/7 reported overnight.
He has admitted attacking a man with a meat cleaver two years ago, leaving him crippled, the news website said, citing reports in the Arabic language newspaper Okaz.
In Saudi Arabia, the criminal justice system has been known to dish out barbaric sentences in accordance with the ancient Babylonian code of Hammurabi, which advocates "an eye for an eye".
The victim, Abdul Aziz Al Mutairi, 22, demanded that his attacker suffer the same injury. And he told Okaz that at least one hospital had agreed the chilling procedure was medically feasible.

A judge at Tabuk General Court is reportedly waiting on responses from surgeons before issuing his sentence.

Disgusting that anyone in the medical profession would consider carrying out such a punishment. Sounds like the "doctors" of Nazi Germany.

Wow if you are typical no wonder Arabs are so fucking useless to the planet. You are an ignoramus. I guessyou agree that Israel is doing great research too by seeing how phosphorus works on human skin? Again, MULSIMS HAVE DONE NOTHING - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - for humanit in teh past 200 years. You are a prime example as to why that is.

The death penalty in the US has been implemented already. It just depends on which state you live in.
Problem is: Innocent people being convicted by false/erroneous eyewitness testimony. Corrupt judges/cops. Etc.
It's not so simple as you make it out to be.
State sanctioned murders can also be carried out for racial/political reasons. That's the biggest reason for why they SHOULDN'T be carried out.

Death penalty in the US is a joke.Trials take literally decades to conclude,at a point were the case itself becomes muddled through contaminated evidence and the passage of time.
Speaking of the Saudi court process though,the executions that I have heard of being done are usually 100% certain situations.Like the scum that was openly boasting of raping little boys(beheaded and crucified).Or the maniac that randomly cut a kid's throat in a crowded supermarket(really no doubt as to who did it ther More..

the thought of punishment rarely deter insane, criminal and rash behaviors.
Most problems with people occur because they simply cannot sit still for 5 minutes and think.
a little more patience works.

As much as it can make one happy, at the end of the day its just two people who have to deal with major problems and a much harder life, I find it barbaric in a modern society, I thought Humans where more further developed than that.

How about we get rapists to 'father' the unwanted offspring too.
Mmmm, I think I've just gone off on a strange tangent...

It's ok there, because the doctors there all take the hypocritic oath.

Sounds like a good punishment to me if the person actually committed the crime.

emphasis on the word "if"
because if the courts convict the wrong person (as they always do, because no court is perfect) the courts are also guilty of a heinous crime

In that case there shouldn't be any punishments for any crime since there is an outside chance the person might be innocent. Better safe than sorry right?
