The Affirmation of Life The essay “Death and Justice: How Capital Punishment Affirms Life,” by Edward I. ... In the essay, Koch effectively argues the fact that capital punishment is not only a deterrent for crime, but also affirms the sanctity of life. ... That’s why Koch gives the possible arguments against capital punishment and then a detailed counter argument for capital punishment. ...
