Republican Gov. Bill Haslam signed a bill into law Thursday allowing the state to electrocute death row inmates in the event prisons are unable to obtain the drugs, which have become more and more scarce following a European-led boycott of drug sales for executions.

Tennessee is the first state to enact a law to reintroduce the electric chair without giving prisoners an option, said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization that opposes executions and tracks the issue.

I disagree with the death penalty in the first place, it's my opinion that lex talionis solves nothing, but this is just... sickening.

Opinions?

I agree, this is utterly freakish. It bothers me more than a little that an otherwise civilized country feels such a desperate need to kill criminals that they want to have alternate methods ready to hand.

I'm on your side - the death penalty is always wrong. To electrocute people because you can't poison them is just wronger than wrong.
