This is something similar to what Ambi and I were discussing last night.
Yes some people may be the scourge of this Earth and the planet would probably be better off without them, but to follow a procedure in the case of farmners and bad tomatoes is ridiculous. We are humans, not tomatoes. We have immense distinctions between eachother. It is foolish to compare us to something like tomatoes or something similar.
Humans are thye pinnacle of evolution on this planet. In nature, beetles would consume their own children so that the others have more food, preying mantises would consume the head of their mate during intercourse, and chickens would peck anything smaller than themselves. All of that is based on instincts of natural selection. Humans are at the point where we can choose to defy instincts of natural selection and find better solutions so that everyone can live in peace. Yes, occurances like Andrea Yates will occur, but we truly only become the same thing once we decide to "throw her away."
I rarely reference religion as a solution, but in Christianity (from what I know), you are supposed to loathe your nemy, but if struck by them you should turn the other cheek. Which is exactly what we should be doing with these kinds of situations.
Now I don't mean let them live on as ample citizens. They prove themselves as savage threats to society. The best solution in my mind is to just lock them up and throw away the key.
