Where is Jack Kavorkian? If the states are gung ho to execute

[shraby]

people humanely (oxymoron) maybe they should ask him how it's done? It appears he knows how without making it painful.

3. He used the lethal injection drugs that are now unavailable

So, in order to have his machine work, we'd need drugs that would let our lethal injections work like they did before.

6. I wonder if Jan Brewer and others...

...are really interested in killing humanely.

7. I thought he was dead, but considering the publicity surrounding his

activities and his trial, I would guess they know exactly how he did it and what he used.
If the states that want to keep the death penalty really wanted to execute in a humane way, there is no need for the fiasco that's occurring unless it's by design.

8. I've always wondered

Why does no country with the death penalty use inert gas asphyxiation? It seems like the most humane way of doing an essentially inhumane thing. Perhaps it's not fearsome enough? Not enough sense of retribution or punishment?

If I were to commit suicide, it's the method I'd use.

9. Many fierce DP proponents are staunch opponents of suicide

And, yes, they are morons.

11. I'm pro-DP (theory not practice) pro-suicide and pro-choice

I have no moral qualms about the death practice in theory - it's far more humane than locking someone in a cage forever - but object to its practice, with the impoverished being poorly represented, trial error, etc. Suicide should be freely and legally available to those in the last stages of diseases that promise a horrible death. I am 100% pro-choice, no conditions.
