They are trained by professionals, a doctor does oversee only, & be there to pronounce dead.

No doctors. It's not ethical.

that to me is shocking I never knew that...so who carries out the execution is it just a CO with some medical training?
Sorry I never knew this so I dont have a clue now.

thats still not right moxie..SC,Allows prisoners to choose between lethal injection and electrocution. NH.Authorizes hanging only if lethal injection cannot be given. missouri..Authorizes lethal injection or lethal gas; the statute leaves unclear who decides what method to use, the inmate or the Director of the Missouri Department of Corrections. FL..Allows prisoners to choose between lethal injection and electrocution. CA.Provides that lethal injection be administered unless the inmate requests lethal gas. washington.Provides that lethal injection be administered unless the inmate requests hanging.

I dont believe you are stating all the facts moxie, in your post you just put ,,"2: It's an issue because, in the past, when the 1 drug method was used it wasn't pretty, which would violate that whole "cruel and unusual punishment" thing in the 8th amendment. You know, the reason why there is no gas chamber or electric chair anymore."
it was/is misleading. your obviously DEAD against the DP which is fine others arnt, there is middle ground. and like i was once told you dont get anywhere on emotions only facts.
please dont get angry at me and call me names im just saying..

Sorry you already answered that above I just saw that.

Either way, how much training do you need to shoot drugs into someone? In the end the result is the same. They are dead.

Yeah Doctors are only suppose to save lives, which make's me think of abortions. Unless the mothers life is in danger due to carrying thru with pregnancy. I know another topic but life is life.

Are you even reading what I'm writing here? I keep using words like "some" and "usually." I never said "this is how it is."
