I'm not the same person I was six weeks ago, let alone six years ago when I was sixteen. I don't approve of the death sentence outright, but even so I know there are many that do. However, as such I still think that 16-17 year olds are too young for the death sentence. There is ample room for them to change their ways, and make an effort to at least partially repay their debts to those they wrong. To me, executing people so young is just a waste of potential.
