Death penalty is reserved for those who have lost their rights through due process.

That's a rationalisation, not a justification. In the same vein, you could say that baby boys can be legally circumcised because the rights of the parents are more important or they haven't gained theirs yet.

Death penalty is not a human rights violation as long as its done in a humane manner.

People say the same thing about circumcision. The right to life is the most fundamental of all and should be preserved above all others—there is no humane way to rob someone of their life any more than there is a humane way to amputate a body part from a person without their consent.

Chopping off the tip off a baby's penis on the other hand... that defenseless baby just got tortured.

It's not illegal to torture people under US law either, as far as I'm aware, certainly not in practice. But that's another subject altogether.
