I think yall are crazy, I’d go for the getting put to sleep over getting shot to death. A needle prick ain’t that bad.[/quote]

I had full anasthetic for a knee surgery. The last thing I remember was icy coldness spreading through my veins. I didn’t have enough time to be scared but thinking back on that gives me the shivers.

Also apparently there is a potential for fuck ups with dosages and individual reactions to the drugs where it isn’t quick and it is painful. Or something.

I’ve had procedures where they do a purified water flush. I thought the icy feeling rushing up the veins in my arm was kinda cool.

I thought they gave you a general anesthetic first anyway, before the lethal drugs.

It’s the best deterrent ever invented. A dead man never kills again. How much more effective do you need it to be?[/quote]

Maybe it would be more of a deterrent if the sentences were actually carried out in a shorter length of time. Taking 25+ years of appeals is a little rediculous.

Excellent post! Incisive! Poignant! Profound![/quote]

hm doe I smell sarcasme haha…

but ok, here is my 2 cents about “human” ways of killing people.

The guilliotin ( dont shoot me if I spelled it wrong, or should I say dont inject me ) where back
in the days regarded as a human killing tool. They thougt that the victim died in the second the
blade hit the neck, but under the french revolution ( where the guilliotin where used one a daily basis
by the jacobins ) they observed that some of the heads made faces towards the publick when they showed
the beheaded to the crowd.

Because of this some men started to examin some of the beheaded heads. They
punched a needle in the neck of one of the heads, and the head made a face like it where screaming. They
found out that the victims lived on for seconds and sometimes minutes. I dont have a point, but tought you guys maybe would find it amusing.

ps. If I had to choose, I would choose injection.

I agree with your statement. That would freak me completely out. We have gone to great messures trying to come up with a better humane way of killing someone. I just find it ironic that most of the people on death row, did not show their victims the same mercy that we show them.

With leathel injection they give them a local so they do not feel the needle. Then give them a sedative to put them asleep, and then, give them potassium to stop their heart? Is this correct.

My wife is a nurse and there are some patients that need potassium to keep their heart going, but too much will make it stop. The potassium burns on the way in that is why they give them the sedative to put them asleep.

I would choose leathel injection also.
