If you were on death row and were to choose your mode of execution, what would it be?
« on: December 07, 2018, 01:23:15 am »
The great state of Tennessee has recently had 2 inmates choosing the electric chair over lethal injection, the article seems to indicate they have no other choices such as hanging or by firing squad:

Tennessee inmate chooses electric chair over lethal injection
    6 December 2018

An inmate in the US state of Tennessee is to be executed by electric chair after arguing that a lethal injection would involve suffering.

David Earl Miller, who has spent 36 years on death row, is among an increasing number of inmates attempting to avoid lethal injection following several botched executions.

Another Tennessee inmate, Edmund Zagorski, was electrocuted last month.

Lethal injection is the state's main method of execution.

You know that lovely stuff they shoot into your veins right before they're going to operate or perform a medical procedure?  I would want THAT.  Whadda way to go!  Painless... and feeling sooooo good (at least, physically).

Sounds about right to me.

Seriously, I am appalled that this question exists in today's USA.  A big dose of Fentanyl will put you out painlessly and permanently.  Heck, even a small dose often does it accidentally.

Nitrogen asphyxiation.  I really don't know why this has not become the standard method of execution, it is likely completely pain free, with no unusual sensations until the loss of consciousness.

I think the first attempt at this lead to choking and puking.

I think @the_doc is right.  Fentanyl.  I wonder if also that would make some pre-fentanyl abusers think before they use it?

Good point.  The lethality certainly should give narcotics addicts pause before knowingly using it for a high.  (Unfortunately, a lot of weaker narcotics are laced with fentanyl.  A narcotics-naïve user--for example, someone with only a little experience with Oxycontin--will die from fentanyl-laced Oxy.  Caveat emptor.  [I think that's Latin for "know your pusher and be sure you never make him mad."])   

As I recall, the lethal dose for fentanyl is frightfully close to the effective dose for achieving significant pain control from it.  By the same token, the lethal dose is probably just above the euphoria-inducing dose for addicts.  I suspect that fentanyl is one of the main causes of the 200 or so narcotics overdose deaths we have every day in the USA.

(As an aside, it occurs to me that some folks might have discarded the fentanyl idea for executions because death is likely not instantaneous, even in absolutely lethal doses.  [Then again, so what if that's true?])

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
