    Any medical professional involved in these executions should have their licenses promptly revoked.

    Even if we ignore the contradiction of “do no harm” and then assisting an execution. The data is there, these executions just look peaceful. In reality they are incredibly painful. It’s cruel and immoral.

    A shotgun blast to the face would be more humane. If we want to go chemical just slam them with anesthesia followed by a fuck ton of morphine.

      Drug companies making morphine and anesthesia drugs won’t sell to prisons for exactly this reason. They don’t want to be associated with the death penalty.

        Of course the only time a buisness grows a conscious it leads to more human suffering.

        Unfortunately as long as the death penalty is the law the state will do it. I’m a proponent of making it less cruel and hopefully outright banning it.

      i wonder if they are even using medical professionals to do this, just someone with “medical training”, i doubt a nurse or doctor would risk thier licenses getting revoked.

        The people who insert the IV are largely not medical professionals. Only after the fact are medical professionals involved to declare the inmate dead. They are largely just staff who have had “training” in phlebotomy. That’s why probably that there are so many botched executions. FWIW, I am strongly against executions. Partly because of how many innocents are executed. But also because it’s inhumane. How the fuck is it not unconstitutional?

      Doctors shouldn’t be party to this nor torture such as waterboarding, but here we are.

      Perform an abortion to save a mother of three already? What?! No! That’s immoral.
