The current most painless execution is firing squad, but the most humane and painless is death by nitrogen hypoxia. Think of the gas chambers but no choking or discomfort, you experience a type of high and then slowly pass out, and die in peace. They can turn it off and you'll regain consciousness and live if you've been pardoned, but you may have brain damage depending on how long you were in there.

I wonder how many times this has happened. Or if Spielberg read a story of one of the men in this video and that's how he came up with the idea. What is described in this video is exactly what happens in The Green Mile. Face eyes and mouth with flames coming out of them and the terrible stench of burning hum flesh. It essentially cooks your entire body from within. Imagine the pain as your brain fries and other organs. Another horrific way of execution. Even when it works it's must be painful.

@@SangoProductions213 Because history has shown there is always a chance that the convicted is in fact not guilty, or that there were certain circumstances which should have been taken into account during the trial (such as the suspect having a mental illness). So many people have been executed, only to be shown innocent later when it was too late. Also, even the most evil person is still a human being. Locking such a person away for life, without a chance to come out of prison, still serves the purpose of removing that person from society. The death penalty also doesn't have the intended effect of deterring people from committing crimes. Executing people simply doesn't make sense. It's a thing of the past.

It appears that prisons are a law unto themselves when conducting executions and that it takes exceptional circumstances for prisons to call them off. The quote from the Supreme Court really spells out the punitive philosophy behind them. The fact that some doctors don't participate in lethal injections because it contravenes the Hippocratic Oath leaves the procedure way open to botching if it is performed by laypeople.

I really hate it when a state brags on how many people they've executed. That's like a murderer bragging on how many people they've killed. That is absolutely NOTHING to be proud of.

Fun fact: it’s NEVER a medical professional giving the doses for lethal injection. That would go against their oath to “do no harm”. That’s why it’s botched sometimes. That and the veins collapsing due to a lot of drug use among prisoners.

This video outlines a small aspect of what is wrong with the death penalty. It doesn’t deter crime, it’s costly on taxpayers. The legal system in the US is flawed.

Nobody cares about deterrence, everyone is free to make the same mistakes and pay the same price if that's what they want. It's about justice and making sure they never offend again.

As someone who is a "hard stick" (inability for phlebotomists to find a vein) due to past drug use, i can confirm the difficulties they experience trying to access a vein. I now have a blood cancer (polycythemia) which requires monthly blood draws and what they do is send me to the hospital for them to perform either a MID-line or a PIC-line. This procedure is done using an ultrasound to find a deep vein (usually on the underside of my bicep). The pic-line has a long IV tubeline (vs. the mid-line which is considerably shorter) inserted into the vein that runs all the way next to your heart. For my monthly blood draw, i get a mid-line inserted as it a short-term use option. The pic-line is usually inserted when they have a long-term necessity for an IV (eg, an extended hospital stay) . All to say, they "should have" offered this option to the Death Row inmate PRIOR to his execution. Alternatively, medical professionals should also know about intravenous method through the neck as an option. I know they mentioned this in the video ("let's go through the jugular...") but for some reason that too wasnt successful?!? They should have already been made aware of a patient's pastmedical history (e.g. past drug use, hence, collapsed veins) and thus been better prepared. This sounds like either: A) Bush league medical staff B) Apathetic level of care towards a death row patient Im leaning towards (B.), but who knows? Maybe there was another option I'm unaware of....🤔
