    This maps shows death sentence and executions in 2010. More than two-thirds of the countries of the world have abolished the death penalty in law or in practice. While 58 countries retained the death penalty in 2010, most did not use it.

    23 countries were known to have carried out executions, killing a total of 523 people; however, this figure does not include the thousands of executions that were likely to have taken place in China, which again refused to divulge figures on its use of the death penalty.

    Doctors : Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.                      

    (A)   The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

    (B)   Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

    (C)   Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

     

    Now think about this:

     

    Guns : Statistics courtesy of FBI

    (A)   The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. 
    (Yes, that's 80 million)

    (B)   The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. 
    (C)   The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.

     
    So, statistically, doctors are approximately
    9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.


    Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

    NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.


    Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

    We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!

    Out of concern for the public at large,I withheld the statistics on lawyers 
    for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!
