If your religion prescribes death for certain crimes, that's human sacrifice. Sorry buddy, but entirely regardless of the secular ethics of capital punishment, a religious decree demanding the death of a person to balance moral scales is just a fancy way of demanding a human sacrifice.

I got kidnapped by a cult and were going to use me as a human sacrifice, but instead of chanting something creepy they chanted the lyrics to Big Lizard by The Dead Milkmen.

I find it infinitely fascinating that Dany - even outside a purely Targaryen context - follows the footsteps of her female ancestors and is married far too young, is pregnant with a prophecy baby, and would have likely died giving birth to a deformed stillborn half-dragon fetus. A disposable vessel for a flawed incarnation of war and conquest, given no room for her own desires, her own inherent worth.
And a healer saves her from this fate. She helps her survive the traumatic birth even though she is in conflict with Dany and her people, has been victimized by Dany and her people. Dany is allowed to escape the cycle of birthing a conqueror. Is allowed to escape the cycle of dying for men's ambition.
And then she turns that healer into a vessel for her weapon of war, burns her alive to birth herself a conqueror. Mirri screams in agony to give life to Dany's ambitions. The maternal sacrifice to Dany patriarchical consummation of her body and life.
Dany could have chosen a painful lesson and freedom. She chose to uphold the oppressive cycle, with herself at the top now. The half-human dead child fully replaced by reptiles that will kill for her within a year.
Mother, she calls herself.

Eldritch cult takes over a major corporation. Refers to the Outer Gods as "The Shareholders." None of the old employees notice anything is any different.

Mummies of a woman with a female child of the Yampara culture, 11th century. Found in Naunaca Mojocoya, Bolivia.
This is a human sacrifice that was offered at every lunar eclipse to appease the moon god: the heart was taken from a healthy and a sick person while they were still alive)

When American archaeologist Edward Herbert Thompson dove into the deep blue waters of Chichen Itza's Sacred Cenote, little did he realize the blue sediment he encountered was the key to unravelling the mysteries of the ancient pigment known as Maya blue.
Decades later, artifacts dredged up from the bottom of the sinkhole provided clues to the sacrificial rituals which once took place at the sacred cenote. To appease Chaac, the god of rain, the ancient Maya would paint sacrificial victims and precious artifacts with Maya blue, before flinging them into the waters that connected them with the underworld.

It's so ironic how the people who hate unions and think capitalism is the be-all, end-all of economic systems freak out over the thoughts of satanic cults supposedly committing human sacrifice.
Someone's in favor of human sacrifice, all right, but it's sure not the imaginary global satanic cult.
