- Abstract
The paper aimed at assessing some critiques of feminist-ethical conception and evaluation of the operational practice of capital punishment. It recognized that ethics has been for the operational values of the human persons as subjects of lived experiences based on the choices we make. This has been for the promotion, protection and respect for the fundamental human rights, especially the right to life, which gives a firmed foundation for other rights for the sustainability of the society in harmony, peace, equity and justice. The paper recognized that these qualities of living in any given society cannot be guaranteed by the practice of capital punishment as corrective measure, for the control of crimes. It is on this concern for the effects of social or societal practices of capital punishment, the feminist ethics examined this practice on women and the children, as most of the criminals convicted to face capital punishment are mainly the men folk who are supposed to live to care for their families. As such, the feminist ethicists advocate for possible eradication of capital punishment in every society as practiced by the governments of the nations. Adopting phenomenological method of analysis, the paper concluded that the feminist ethicists recognized that the society can be more peaceful and orderly when the lives and values of women in reference to the valuation of all lives, and learn the justice and the values of the society are dependable on the values such society has on the women as subjects of lived experiences.
