Death penalty retentionists often attempt to counter this argument by asserting that persons convicted of capital crimes have forfeited their right to life. This paper examines the logic of the Forfeiture Thesis, and a related assumption, the State Authority Thesis, in relation to the

This nicely captures the sense of pride punctuated by tragedy that char- acterizes our postmodern mood as the twentieth century slouches towards it conclusion. The irony of the historical experience of the twentieth century arises from the recognition that the long string of successes in many fields of science and technology that have occurred in this century have taken place alongside an equally long string of human rights violations, mass killings, wars, and genocides. If we measure human progress solely in terms of scientific and technological discovery and innovation, it has been a fabulously progressive century indeed. But if we measure human progress in terms of increased social and eco- nomic justice and greater security from war and other forms of social violence, then any objective appraisal of our cen- tury must conclude that we have failed tragically to solve the problem of man's inhumanity to man.' I want to focus my remarks on the phenomenon of insti- tutionalized intergroup violence (IIV) and to discuss how an approach to this problem through the framework of health and human rights can point the way towards more effective responses to this source of human suffering in the twenty- first century.2 My proposal is essentially that we ought to view outbreaks of IIV as an epidemiologist would view out- breaks of disease-as threats to public health.

Parts differ, in this way, from category members. Similarity is one element of the class inclusion relation, but not of the part-whole relation. Failure to attend to the properties of relations is one source of relation confusion. Relation confusion appears to be pervasive in relation comprehension and this raises doubts about the use of semantic relations as theoretical primitives in theories of semantic memory.
