I'm still not sure what's exactly more humane about a chemical death. A shot to the head is pretty fucking instant if they do it right. Hanging I could see where an argument could be made, but a bullet.. not so much. Hell, the guillotine was pretty instant too, but that's more about the show of it than anything. Granted, the only thing I see that works in favor of chemical is that the cleanup a a hell of a lot easier.
Don’t care, there is no such thing as a humane death. We rip apart unborn babies piece by piece with forceps, there is no humane standard only a more expedient one.
I'd argue the guillotine is the most humane method, as long as the convict gets a bag over their head and a nice pillow.
Maybe not humane for the cleanup crew though.
It’s all optics. They’re supposedly paralyzed so there’s no thrashing about or whatever
True. The "humane" part of the execution was never made for the recipient. It's to make the people dishing it out feel better about themselves, while also pretending it isn't for them so they can also feel good about "doing the killed dude a favor." A double win. It's kinda sick.
If it were about being humane they'd just use anesthetics and then pump the poison in after the prisoner was knocked out.
That's not terribly far off from what a death by lethal injection is. Or if you already know more than me, you'd have to explain to me how what you're talking about is different.
I'm just speculating over here.
