Reply #4: Lethal injection is not to make the person dying feel any better [View All]

It is only to make the people who are doing the killing feel better. The people who would know these things say the person who dies from lethal injection while unable to move or say anything is fully aware of what is happening to them. And the poisons being injected into their veins feels very similar to lit gasoline being injected into their body.

>>>Not everyone is of the opinion that death by lethal injection is painless - Dr. Edward Brunner, chairman of the Department of Anaesthesia at North-western University Medical School, submitted an affidavit on behalf of death row inmates in Illinois in which he states that lethal injection "create{s} the substantial risk that prisoners will suffocate or suffer excruciating pain during the three chemical injections but will be prevented by the paralytic agent from communicating their distress." It is notable also that Albert Pierrepoint, who was one of Britain's most prolific hangmen and who witnessed an early lethal injection execution considered that the process was "sadistic" mainly due to the length of time it took to render the prisoner unconscious.<<<
