ATMORE, Ala. (AP) — As witnesses including five news reporters watched through a window, Kenneth Eugene Smith, who was convicted and sentenced to die in the 1988 murder-for hire slaying of Elizabet…
The most humane method of execution that humanity has ever developed is still just a bullet to the head. People in this stupid fucking turd of a country are unfortunately too bloodthirsty to give up on execution, but also too squeamish to do it the honest and correct way.
People really can survive getting shot in the head unfortunately.
CW: suicide
I’m friends with some doctors who work in emergency psych units and there are an alarmingly high number of patients who try to shoot themselves in the head and fail to die in various ways that maim them terribly and make their life so much worse than it was before.
I understand what you’re saying, but execution style shootings are different from a failed suicide attempt. Most of the time it’s someone becoming squeamish at the last second and throwing the angle off which results in a botched attempt unfortunately.
what caliber is a mandatory question here. Then again, I went to school with a kid who died on a fishing boat when a 22 went off accidentally and got him right in the (head, eye).
Anesthetics take some serious skill to work effectively, and no reputable anesthesiologist would be willing to do it. That’s the main problem here, capital punishment is incompatible with the ethics of medicine. Doctors don’t want to kill people
A bullet would still be faster, but in my personal opinion I want to relapse on nicotine with a final cig if I have to get executed (by firing squad, one of the only things my shithole of a state gets right)

Most humane way IMO is to put someone under as if they were having surgery. While they’re under, lop off the head with guillotine.

many people want their loved one’s body to be left intact and not riddled with holes or missing limbs
Yeah I’d much prefer them with tons of IV stab wounds and then suffering for hours
If I were being executed I really couldn’t give less of a shit about looking handsome for relatives
slower death, less humane.
We need to create an explosive guillotine that cuts at Mach 4 or greater
Does nothing about the fact the intact brain exists and is conscious. People have blinked and stuff lost guillotine.
A bullet destroys the part of you that contains you. Just heady with barret and they won’t even know a switch has been flipped.
i didn’t say where it cuts
Ok, doing a halfway through cut might actually be a good idea
