It's actually less emotional than anti-death penalty... as in it's more sociopathic. It's in the same vein as eugenics. Something that's better for society on the surface but is morally (ie emotionally) appalling. For example, one could say even if person who was innocent of the crime is executed they wouldn't be much of a loss for society anyway since most of them tend to have a history of being criminals and not being contributing members of society. Meanwhile, it's one less mouth to feed. Of course, that's a very sociopathic and cold way of looking at it.
