There’s also the issue of whether the sedative actually works. It’s hard to tell since they then give a drug that paralyzes you. Potentially you are paralyzed but not sedated and then suffer an excruciating death from the drug that stops your heart..

That’s my understanding, as well. That’s why they have three drugs, one to knock you out, one to paralyze you and then the potassium chloride to cause cardiac arrest. Overall, not the most pleasant sounding thing.
