Do you really put the value of the life of a condemned murderer on par with that of a hungry child? Or a child in need of medical care?

What a ridiculous straw man analogy. Nobody ever said they value the life of convicted criminals more than children in need. What Doc implied, and I agree with this, is that it's shameful for the state to take lives because it is cheaper than not taking them. So if you don't agree with that, than why should we not just put the needy children you refer to into the electric chair, if it would be cheaper than having to care for them.
