&gt;A 14 or 15 old person is mature enough to understand complex moral issues.<p>You&#x27;re proposing hanging 14 and 15-year-olds?<p>Purely and genuinely because I&#x27;m curious: at what age would you say &quot;stop, they&#x27;re too young to hang&quot;?<p>&gt;Catching them early has potential for betterment...<p>But once they&#x27;ve crossed a line, despite having another 40-50 years of life in front of them, that&#x27;s it? Not any chance of trying to turn them into contributing, worthwhile members of society?
