That is not justice, that is revenge. This woman is sick. She should be put to death. But, humanely. She lost her humanity. If we do something equally bad to her (i.e. eye for an eye) then we lose part of our humanity too. We need to be better than sick people in order to keep our humanity. Even though what she did is horrible beyond words, we should never let this type of thing desensitise us or bring us down to that level.
