Out of: lethal injection, electrocution, hanging, and gas chamber, what is the kindest method of execution?
Out of your choices, lethal injection is the “kindest” method. Hangings are more effective when they break the neck but if it does not then the person will hang for minutes until they pass out. Electrocution is very violent because electricity is always looking for another exit so it may blow up a portion of your body to escape. The gas chamber does not seem any friendlier. (I served in the military where we go into a non-lethal gas chamber which was very painful on your body and different gasses have different effects.) Lethal injection is not the best way but it is the best we have. If the first drug (I don’t know the name off the top of my head) does not have the effect of placing the person to sleep, the second drug injected can cause a burning sensation. This was the case in Kentucky in which the first drug did not work, the prisoner was sentenced to die on the wrong day and was some how saved only to die another day. But before he did he filed an appeal on a cruel and unusual pun
Out of the following choices, the kindest method of execution would be the lethal injection. The waiting time before being electrocuted would put you in shock and you might need to be electrocuted several times to die….the point where the rope goes around your neck would make you think about what will happen and you wont die quickly…and the gas chamber is a slow death.
Strangely it’s hanging, if done correctly your neck is snapped and you die right away. Those having lethal Injection may look at peace but the pre-injection paralyses them and stops them moving or speaking, once the ‘pre-leathal’ injection is in fact lethal but even if the lethal injection wasn’t given the prisoner would still die, just that the lethal injection is faster,recent news was that prisoners can feel the pain of their organs desolving! The gas chamber is of course slow, with electrocution prisoners die most often from drowning in their own body fluids.
