I am against the death penalty, it’s a barbaric practice and not something a civilized country should do.
But for fucks sake, when you decide to have it, why not just heavily sedate someone first, with the help of an anesthesiologist or another medical professional?
Revenge has to be the only point, considering that it is genuinely cheaper to imprison people for life than it is to go through death row appeals and execute them, even before you include the cost of botching executions and the lawsuits that stem from that. South Carolina choosing firing squad in this case was not only because its harder to botch, but because its virtually impossible to buy the drugs for lethal injection anymore. Even when available, they cost a fortune for the state to procure
The death penalty is just to sate barbaric revenge instincts and nothing else. There is no logical point to it
with the help of an anesthesiologist or another medical professional
Usually medical professionals aren’t involved because it’s a violation of their oath to do no harm. So then these sadistic bumblefucks just do whatever they want.
Honestly, with the amount of fent over there if I was on death row I’d rather get some smuggled in than risk a botched execution. No anesthesiologist needed.
Because no medical professional will do it.
It goes completely against the entire pride and ethics of that profession.
You don’t put yourself through all the education required to become a physician, to then help kill people against their will.

The cruelty is the point with these people.

Any medical professional would lose their licence if they participated in any way.

I don’t think overdosing someone on morphine or some such anaesthetic or drug requires a medical degree.
