re: #68 Political Atheist

You make an excellent point. If we must do this (and I find myself wishing we would just not) Why not a general anesthetic. Just like surgery. Then a quick zap with the cardio paddles and it’s light out, no pain, no convulsions.

That having been said if we perfect a way of painless killing, will we set the stage for too many executions? Let’s just ditch the death penalty. Accept that from time to time a really horrible person will make us wish we had not. That’s okay.

Too quiet, too medical. I really favor hanging myself, since it makes it clear the person in question is being killed and it can be done reliably with proper procedures.
