"Eye for an eye" is a primitive and nasty idea whose time ran out centuries ago...
Most of the rest of the world bans executions, because they know they are brutal and not really a civilized thing to do. And they aren't as bad a punishment as life, either... the person dies, instead of living for the rest of their lives in a cell...
And I just think that killing people (unless you have absolutely no alternative, which we most certainly do in this case) is just unconcionable.
