When I look at punitive situations like this I think of the cost vs. benefit. Is there any value that anyone gets out of this woman suffering? What is the point of imprisoning/killing/boiling her? Is it to stop her activity, or is it meant to equalize some sort of fictitious playing field? Would boiling her alive "send a message" to other people crazy enough to boil a child alive? I just don't see how anyone gains anything of value by having this woman suffer. The point of her punishment should be to ensure that she never does anything to harm innocent people again.
I get you on the capital punishment thing. The ethics of whether killing someone outright is more humane than a lifetime of incarceration is a whole other ball of wax. Not sure that I get the "sin" part though. It's not a sin to think about, is it?(I seriously don't know. My religion is skepticism)
We actually pay people in the CIA to do this. I believe that they probably do Abu Ghraib and the Barney song on repeat type of stuff waaaaay more often than most people would care to know.
