    Any medical professional involved in these executions should have their licenses promptly revoked.

    Even if we ignore the contradiction of “do no harm” and then assisting an execution. The data is there, these executions just look peaceful. In reality they are incredibly painful. It’s cruel and immoral.

    A shotgun blast to the face would be more humane. If we want to go chemical just slam them with anesthesia followed by a fuck ton of morphine.

      Drug companies making morphine and anesthesia drugs won’t sell to prisons for exactly this reason. They don’t want to be associated with the death penalty.

        Of course the only time a buisness grows a conscious it leads to more human suffering.

        Unfortunately as long as the death penalty is the law the state will do it. I’m a proponent of making it less cruel and hopefully outright banning it.

            Correct, that’s why the preference is banning but we can try to do it as least painfully for the person as possible. I view it as a dual approach

      i wonder if they are even using medical professionals to do this, just someone with “medical training”, i doubt a nurse or doctor would risk thier licenses getting revoked.

      Doctors shouldn’t be party to this nor torture such as waterboarding, but here we are.

      Perform an abortion to save a mother of three already? What?! No! That’s immoral.
