Stop being reasonable, Sava - it'll be a disturbing trend if you keep it up.

And so you condemn another human to death. Congratulations.
where society should spend it's resources and who it should bother to try to rehabilitate
So why rehabilitate anyone? Why not just hang 'em all and be done with it?

I read somewhere that incest between biological parents and children who were adopted out is not uncommon when they meet again in adult life. Scary stuff.
This kiddie probably needs to be locked up for his own good.
Killing this kid would be a sick and obscene idea. Anyone who would do something like this very likely has severe psychological problems that would limit his culpability.
The classical arguments for DP don't really apply well. Detterance? Raping your mom is such a rare crime we don't need to be concerned about that? Reperations for the victim? The mom herself said she wants to see her son get treatment.
That leaves protection for society. Well, there alot of sick people we arrest that are likely to be long term problems, potentially violent problems, for society. But we don't kill them just on potential- unless they have actually done the ultimate crime and murdered someone and have thus proven that they are a severe danger to society.
Killing this kid would show an absolute and total disrespect for the value of life in society.

The death penalty doesn't work. It doesn't deter criminals and it relies on an infallibility in the Justice system which is unattainable.
More to the point, whatever the morals of putting criminals to death it is certainly bad for the community as it appeals to the lowest most vengeful human instincts.

The why is easy. The how to is the problem. Rehabilitation efforts have been the most futile and wasteful part of any criminal justice system I have knowledge of,

What you said, except replace "rehabilitation" with "punishment".
