Moral Argument Another main argument we face is the Moral Argument. I want to start this argument with a quote by Edward Koch “it is by exacting the highest penalty for the taking of human life that we affirm the highest value of human life.” Over the decades public safety has become an insignificant and meaningless thing. I believe when a society ignores their moral duty to defend the safety and security of their decent citizens and leaves them at the mercy of violent criminals they are treating life as meaningless. Public safety is recognized as a human Right Under Article 12 of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights it states: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor or reputation.
