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.
If someone is surviving a headshot then you aren't using a big enough bullet.
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).
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.
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)
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
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
Wouldn't carbon monoxide be better? You kind of just fall asleep no?
Google says that it’s more dangerous for bystanders in case of leakage. Probably the real reason is that it’s too expensive to do it safely.
Yeah but we don't do that because of the optics. And only because of the optics, really.
optics as a concept needs to die. So many people whinge about optics and they never have a valid point underneath it.
Generally yeah, but let's see who's gonna advocate in favor of gassing inmates.
wasnt this literally gassing the inmate?
True. Though Alabama's doing it cuz they ran out of juice but want to keep killing people anyway. It seems like there's more backlash to this method than to the usual murders, but I think the South just needs to make it more American. Lock people in a room with a truck running and you'll have the support of patriots everywhere.
I mean There were and still are multiple Gas Chambers all around the US that we're Used for executions. So the US is advocating for Gas Chambers.
There are? Where? 😮
Most of them arent Used anymore and are in the south. I dont know the exact Locations but i think Arizona was one, new Mexico, california Had one as well.
They were mostly Used in the 60s and 70s i think.
Honestly, with how anti death penalty this site is they’d just get banned (they conveniently ignore how we all approve of the death penalty for Nazis, but don’t point that out).
