I find it interesting that different methods are used for death penalty and for farm animals. You should think that whatever is considered as humane for one should be ok for the other.

- hprotagonist 6y agoThere's increasing consensus that capital punishment methods, at least in the US, are not appropriate! Given that we allow the state to execute people -- a dubious proposition in the first place -- i don't understand why we don't just push a shitton of phenobarb and xanax or whatever. "an anaesthetic overdose" is pretty darn humane if we're willing to accept the premise that anaesthetic "work" by "decoupling consciousness". Scare quotes intentional here, because we genuinely don't know how anaesthetic work but we broadly agree that when you've taken a lot of them you don't feel any pain.
