The injection itself is a barbiturate, a drug that serves both as anethetic and paralytic in a dose that kills, something like potassium chloride might be injected afterwards to swift things. The anesthetic effect wont wear off for hours.InvisibleSeal said:
I think that the modern state using the death penalty tends to undermine the whole "don't murder, people" thing and gives a lot of bad criminals an easy out when time in a maximum security pen is likely a much harsher punishment. It also allows people to repent, should they decide to, even if they are stuck there for life.
That being said, I'd take getting hit by a bus or something.

yeah, the problem with the death penalty is that it's irreversible. you don'tzala-taichou said:
want to find out years later you executed an innocent.
If the guy wants to die like that its his choice.
On the death penalty itself my issue with it is i don't think murderers and rapists deserve to die.
In this case i use the word "deserve" as "You don't deserve a Christmas present this year because you've been a little shit timmy"
Convicted Cold blooded murders(because sometimes murder isn't heartless.. still wrong but not sinister... i don't want to get into that though... its long...) and rapists(No excuse) should be stuck in a cell barely big enough for them to move, hooked into a wall, and fed through a tube. Total darkness, total silence, unable to move, jaw wired shut so they can't even hear there own voice. Just alone in the shadows, until their last breath.
Yes, i have a very narrow view of serial killers and rapists. I want them to suffer.
Best of all the system is cheap. A standard prison could house ten times the amount of prisoners. Even safer put it underground so its not an eyesore. The lack of movement and real food would make them so weak that even if they could get out of there restraints the layers and layers of concrete and steel door would lead them to just starving to death slowly deep below the earth in utter darkness.

I detest the death penalty in any form. I don't even think it was appropriate for the Nazi war criminals. One life should not arbitrarily decide to destroy another and then claim this was "right". Having said that, firing squad is probably the most humane method.
The electric chair just doesn't bear thinking about. You are basically cooked to death.
The gas chamber is horribly painful and loud, not to mention extremely hazardous for the executioners.
Hanging isn't too reliable. Being left there, strung up, while you twitch yourself to death isn't how I would want to go.
Lethal injection is just nasty. Lying on your own death bed, while being put under by chemicals like some animal.
If I really had the choice, I would go for firing squad too.

It's very unlikely that it would wear off, but there have been cases of that happening. Barbiturates generally slow brain activity which causes what you said. They start working in a few seconds and last hours, and last hours, so they are very very unlikely to wear off - but there have been cases where they have.Vitor Goncalves said:
And yes, potassium chloride can cause a quick heart attack, but since there are no doctors, the person could be paralyzed but aware of the pain while they die, since the prison guards and people might not realise they should give them potassium chloride.
I'm not saying it's likely to happen, but I'd prefer a definate death over one that maybe could go wrong.
I dont' know, I'd be more afriad if it was staring at five men with guns... What is a gun going to do wtih a gun. : PMacgyvercas said:
Anyway, I read somewhere that a guy wanted to donate his organs after he was fire squad'ed. The bullets smashed and mangled his insides too badly for any of them to be recovered.
Just got reminded of that little story from government class.
It still costs money to issue the death sentence. People try to overturn it over and over again when they get issued it. It could take years before a guy who got sentenced to death to actually be executed. They don't just do it the next day. In the mean time, we still have to pay for this guy, along with his lawyer (Which is appointed to him by our Judicial System).Skratt said:
By the time they kill him, it would have been cheaper to just issue him a life sentence.
So your determination of the value of a human life, even one which has murdered, is down to money? And you think this makes you better do you?Skratt said:
Eh, its been my theory that a life for a life seems fair. If someone is okay with killing another human being, then why bother having them around?
And if I was going to get executed, it would easily be by firing squad. Put a smoke in my mouth, and a red bandanna around my eyes.

i support the death penalty but firing squad is a big nono.
im from ireland and that was one of the choices for execution, we got a few horror stories at mount joy (mount joy is a very famous prison here, bad choice of name though). the last ones done by firing squad caused a huge uproar and added allot of people in the civil war.
when it comes to death penalties you never know how the publics going to react

I'd rather be shot, than hanged or injected. Not looking forward to breaking my neck (or in a probably even worse case being strangled; small chance) or having these weird toxics injected.
Why not?SinisterSpade|LH| said:
You want to end someones life because you don't want to pay for that life.
The fate of another human being is balanced entirely by greed and/or your unwilligness to be out of pocket for their continued survival.
This is something I find both morally reprehensible and rather hypocritical.
