Then why do we not incorporate those two drugs in assisted suicide prescriptions? That's my point. We stop the heart because we intend to execute and we need to be sure. We paralyze the muscles because stopping the heart hurts, a lot, and people would squirm. We hope that the anesthetic is dulling the pain of that drug, but just in case it isn't we make sure the condemned can't show how much it hurts. I think we don't actually care if they hurt, and in fact we sorta do hope it hurts like hell. They're criminals, after all. We strongly deny, even in the face of pretty good evidence, that anyone innocent has ever been executed. Truth is we could execute people quite reliably with a small dose of fentanyl. Or we could use the accepted protocol for assisted suicide -- after all, we kill a lot more people with assisted suicide than by lethal injection, so we have a good amount of experience getting it right. I wonder about the stats on that -- how many failed suicides (of the assisted variety) compared with botched executions?
