Dr. Guillotin's invention still is the most humane execution method.
People only like lethal injections because they don't spill any blood. Once you see blood you know what you have done.
- senderista 4y agoA well-placed shot in the back of the head is pretty humane as well.
- naikrovek 4y agoand very bloody.
- rootusrootus 4y agoI'd wager less bloody than decapitation, however.
- kmonsen 4y agoNitrogen gas is painless and very quick.
- rootusrootus 4y agoA few places have approved nitrogen hypoxia now, though I don't believe it has been used yet. That has a reasonable shot at being the most human method invented. Not that we should actually condone the state killing its citizens for any reason, but I digress.
- chasil 4y agoI actually propose we rethink, and remove the ability of the state to inflict capital punishment. However, I also think that prisoners serving life sentences should have the right of euthenasia, after speedy judicial review (maybe six months). The applicants should trigger the nitrogen flood themselves. The state should not have the power to do this.
