Pfizer-Blocks Use Of Execution Drugs

[trt]

I suppose they could go back to the electric chair, but have never understood why the lethal injection seem to be so complicated.

From what I have seen/heard, they use three, one after the other in intervals, but sometimes that dosent always work, and it can take a long time to die, some in terrible pain, (no sympathy from me).

So why cant they just give them an overdoes of anaesthetic that you are given before an operation, or a big shot of heroin?

Re. OP. I can't understand either. When I have been forced to take a dog or cat to the vet because their life is over, apart from more pain, the procedure is a simple overdose of anaesthetic and they sleep their life away in my arms It is a kind ending, so should be applicable to humans as well.

Another way is to use the drugs that are used in the Clinic in Switzerland.
Never heard of any family complaining that the patient suffered.

I think there must be some reason why, we are unaware that the simple way is the best.

I'm going to e-mail Steven Fry!
