Not sure I follow you here :/ Are you suggesting criminals wouldn't willingly choose execution over a lost hand? You are probably right for most, but that is because they are depraved. I am simply laying the case that capital punishment is infinitely superior and in no way analogous (finally learned how to fucking spell that!) to the backwards barbarism of Sharia law.
Killing criminals is the rational thing to do
It is the just thing to do
It is the compassionate thing to do
How can it not be the right thing to do?

Sharia has nothing to do with it. Your basis was that there is an inherent sense of shame in the criminal and that they would rather be put to death due to their shame. If they don't have a sense of shame, which you shouldn't because it isn't 1500's puritanical law anymore, then how could they feel shame that they would need liberation from via death. Get modern with your thoughts on this, research behaviorism, research profitability within criminal justice, research criminal justice reform, and weigh Santa's reform argument while comparing it to how and why criminal justice is applied.
