People committing the most heinous crimes (usually murder in countries that practice the death penalty) have forfeited the right to life.

That's all nice and well, but then the person killing the killer should forfeit their right to live also...
My point is this:
We no longer live in a society where nature can kill you at any opportunity with little warning. Our society discusses and debates. While I understand the feeling behind the sentiment, it does little to create harmony.
Another point is that if you look at the animal kingdom, there is no concept of an eye-for-and-eye. The Lion killing an Antilope does not get set upon by the family of the Antilope.
