It is much more expensive than life in prison, and the state shouldn't have the ability to take it's own citizens' lives.
The only time where the death penalty was efficient and somewhat successful was in Communist Russia when the KGB would just swipe you off the street and shoot you in the back of the head in an alley. However, I am not for that, and most people aren't either.
Terrorists, or mass murderers, should not be able to live, they should be punished by the death penalty, in any/every country, like Bobo said, money should not be in the question
