To be honest, due to the apparent huge cost and time wasted trying to execute certain individuals it should be used depending on the situation. I'll use the example of Anders Breivik. He killed however many people, he is clearly guilty and so the huge death row process that takes so long could be avoided by giving him the death sentence straight away.
Now some would argue that dying is the easy way out but that depends on who you are, if you caught some child rapist who didn't expect to get caught and sentenced him to death, quite frankly I believe he would shit himself. Now people like Anders may see death as a way out or not. The fact is he probably deserves (then again, who decides what people deserve) to be taken off the face of the planet.
However it would have to depend on certain situations. For example, executing a terrorist caught trying to suicide bomb a place, or even executing someone like Osama Bin Laden would be an easy way out for people with that sort of ideology because of their belief of Paradise and the fact that they were willing to kill themselves anyway. (Not going off on a tandem regarding religion, but that is true).
So overall, most of the time the death penalty becomes a farcical because of the fact that it takes so long and costs so much money. If it was used in express situations where hopefully that long process wouldn't be needed than I guess it could be used.
On a personal ground I am going to be honest. I am not going to pretend I am some all loving person who believes in forgiving everybody, I would rather see people like Breivik and serial killers dead. If someone had killed my entire family etc. then I would want them dead. Does that make me crazy? I don't know. Maybe I would think differently but I have no trouble on moral grounds of the life for a life concept.
