There is none.  The only argument in favor of it is based on the emotion.  This thread is a perfect example.  We have a person not just saying he is in favor of capital punishment, but that he is also in favor torturing a person to death.  It is all about primitive bloodlust.  The OP asks why it is "inhumane" when the very answer lies in the word he used.  It is "inhumane" because "humans" don't function based on visceral "animal like" instincts.  That is one of the big things that separates humans from animals.

And this also explains why some of the most religious people in this country are also the ones most in favor of dropping bombs on innocent babies, killing the families of terrorists, and torturing people to death as part of our criminal justice system.  Religious people reject logic to follow their emotions.  The same reason they accept religion is the same reason they are in favor of inhuman acts of violence on other humans.
