| | Asked whether they agreed that the death penalty should be retained for the sake of the victim's family, 43.7% agreed with this view while 48.6% felt that the argument was not compelling. | | | Mr Satoh wrote that although he wished no cruel murders were committed and the death penalty be abolished, the reality was that cruel crimes were still taking place and that in such cases the death penalty was unavoidable. | | | The Subcommittee concluded that they could find no common and decisive factors distinguishing death penalty cases from life imprisonment cases and that the main factor distinguishing the sentences applied appeared to be subjective to judges. |

| | Jeremy Bentham [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | So far as rights exist in law, they are protected; outside of law, they are at best "reasons for wishing there were such things as rights." While Bentham's essays against natural rights are largely polemical, many of his objections continue to be influential in contemporary political philosophy. | | | All rights must be legal and specific (that is, having both a specific object and subject). | | | They ought to be made because of their conduciveness to "the general mass of felicity," and correlatively, when their abolition would be to the advantage of society, rights ought to be abolished. |
