    Default Which execution method is the most humane?

    Seriously...I think this is a topic fresher than ''is capital punishment right or wrong''. I m not gonna put a poll here to stifle the discussion. If you were about to be executed and there is absolutely no way out, how would you like to die? Also, what is your understanding of humane concerning this topic? Least painful, least gory etc.
    GO ON! LET US STRUT!

    I for one would relish the oppurtunity to be forced into a penal military brigade, comprised of convicts who wold be sent on the most suicidal missions. Like diversionary frontal assaults on fixed MG positions. Maybe not the least painful or gory, but with the most glory.

    Hah says the guy with an WH40K Imperium aquila. I do agree, If I was a prisoner serving a long sentence. I would much rather serve in my nations armed forces in a penal regiment as opposed to rotting away my life in a cell.

    ed to death by lots of beautiful woman.
    You have a certain mentality, a "you vs them" and i know it is hard to see, but it is only your imagination which makes up enemies everywhere. I haven't professed anything but being neutral so why Do you feel the need to defend yourself from me?. Truly What are you defending? when there is nobody attacking?

    Considering I would live in a country that has death punishment
    I would suggest.

    Private execution, so no press or relatives of the victims.
    The punishment shouldn't be for revenge but for justice

    start with an Injection of an anasthetic.
    after the person has fallen asleep
    a 2nd injection of a drug that stops his heart
    or a overdosis of an anasthetic drug that kills the person without causing pain.

    cheap and clean,
    and no shortcuts

    Firing squad, straight to the face.

    That's how I'd want to go anyway.

    Lethal injection or poisoning has to be the most inhumane way to go in my books. I mean such a sterile and depressing exit. I'd honestly prefer the firing squad.

    Beheading would be pretty cool if I was some sort of crazy rebel who was captured and have my head displayed all across the land (my badassness would shine through even on a pike).

    The person who is to die should have some say in how he dies - some would prefer to do it by firing squad - others would hate to be shot. Equally, some would prefer an injection, and others would hate that.

    What one person feels is 'humane' another might find horrifying, and that's why it should be the choice of the one who is to die.

    Why should a child rapist die in the first place? It is just a child, they will get over it won't they.

    The most humane method of killing is voluntary suicide by self-administered Deep Sedation, so that is what i would choose.

    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

    None are quick at all except sometimes the first one; which depends on what kind of chemic is used. If you thought beheading is fast because of what you have saw, then don't forget that those are the ones which succeeded for the first time and had not to be done over 3 times.

    Lethal injection is anything but painless.

    What is with the lethal injection why don't they give them an anasthetic first so that nothing can be felt, that is what really disturbs me about executions, and it disproves any kind of utiliterian arguement for capital punishment, it is being done deliberately to hurt people without a doubt.

    Beheadings French-revolution style, or death by a firing squad.
