Who should be put to death? Or who should execute it? Which do you mean?
You said put "them" to death. I was looking for you to clarify who is the "them" in your post...:idunno:

Rusha,
If you want to prevent a mother suffering from postpartum psychosis and killing her baby again, then you have the choice of killing her just to be on the safe side, sterilising her, taking the baby away after birth, providing medical or social support to prevent the illness or doing nothing.
Tell me again why you need to execute the woman and can't possibly do one of the other actions? Unless you just like people to die.

Are you going to offer your suggestion?...
I'm sure you will be quite happy, then, if you ever develop a mental illness to be vilified for it and blamed for your own medical condition.
"it's his own fault he starved to death - he had his pension but he just stopped cooking or cleaning. Some would blame the dementia, but I think he just let himself go"
I would rather be executed for some heinous crime than live to repeat it
That would be loving my neighbor as myself
That's just the point - there is no bad character that will repeat the crime, because the causes were external to the will of the woman, temporary and preventable.

Preventable ... as in ... "they didn't have to do it".
Temporary...yeah.
I was talking about mothers with postpartum psychosis. You seem to be talking about something completely different. :idunno:
Am I?
No, preventable as in can be prevented in the future. I'm not sure you can prevent things have already happened.
It's up to you to demonstrate why they get a freebie and thereby set a standard of saying "it's okay to kill your children and pretty much anyone as long as you claim "my hormones made me do it!"
Either killing others is no big deal after pregnancy and thereby shouldn't be a crime or it wrong. Which is it?
The claim has to stand up in court with the support of medical experts and others with evidence of her mental state. It can never be just a claim for something so serious.
Is it just to execute someone who was not legally or medically mentally criminally responsible?
The insanity defense is a crock. If it were legitimate then 50% of people claiming to have gone "temporarily insane" would have donated all their money to charity instead of murdering someone.
Yeah ... no premeditation there.
