RC Theologian Appeals for Stop in MO Execution | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The democracy now replaces the sovereign - who ruled in exchange for keeping each member of the realm safe - that safety includes other prisoners as well.  Those prisoners who cannot be socialized or treated for a mental defect must either be isolated or executed.  It is a lay myth that isolation is any different than any other slow form of execution if it is forever.  Of course, it is impossible to effectively euthanize those prisoners who cannot be made safe because the drug companies are, for reasons of public relations, taken on the role of sovereign - but without doing anything to make surviving prisoners save.  Of course, the judicial system seems obsessed with justice rather than avoiding danger.  Only the currently dangerous should be executed (just as abortion is allowed not for guilty pregnancies, but for dangerous ones.  Its what the pro-life movement gets wroing as well.  And - no - it is not the role of theologians to assess danger.
