Death Penalty

Image
The death penalty is a very controversial topic. Also known as capital punishment which is when someone that has legally been convicted of capital crime. Which is when someone is convicted of a dangerous crime and is punished with execution. Some states have removed the death penalty, while in others it has been in high use for many different defendants. Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia are a few states where it is legal. Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine and Maryland are some of the locations which it is not.

Which I was concerned about to a great extent.

He told me "Only consider getting the surgery if the pain is unbearable". In spite of the fact that when the spinal fusion procedure is done it causes a person's balance to be unsteady. Caused by
