But if it has to exist, why can't they make it quick?
In 2016 can we not make a machine that instantly kills?
Hanging and lethal injection is just as barbaric as having you're throat slit with a blunt knife like isis do.
Isn't it?
Even the guillotine would be better than that.
It's just fucking sick.
Lethal injection barbaric?
Pretty sure it's the less painful method.
I could be wrong though.
There is actually good evidence that the three drug cocktail that they currently use just masks excruciating pain through the paralyzing agent. Our lethal injection in prisons is so outdated at this point, that vets don't use it anymore to euthanized animals because they are concerned about the pain. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7...-painless/
If we are going to do it, we should just switch to a single shot barbiturate method. Or just get rid of the death penalty. Life imprisonment is just the death penalty anyway. Death by confinement. At least people in prison still have the opportunity to better themselves or make something of their life or even experience regret over their crime, though I believe the chances are slim they will actually do it.
