"What we do have is data to suggest the process might be critically flawed," Lubarsky said. "It's now up to the corrections systems to show that, at the time of death, inmates are asleep. We should accept no less when we're killing people."Then put them to sleep and execute them with a bullet.

Clearly, we need to starve them to death. No suffering; just euphoria.

Why was there no concern - in Florida - when they starved
and dehydrated Terri Schiavo?

There's always saline, curretage or starvation/dehydration. After all, if it's good enough for unborn babies and disabled people, it's good enough for death row inmates. /sarc

Quite frankly, if they did a crime where the criminal deserved death (murder, rape, child molestation, etc.), then they deserve the absolute maximum amount of suffering as they exit this world.
No sympathy. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Starve 'em to death. Liberals assure us its a humane method of execution - people look beautiful as they die.

"The anesthetic, sodium thiopental, is the first of three drugs given in the execution protocol used by Texas and most other death penalty states. The amount typically administered through an IV, 2 to 3 grams, is far more than the amount used to sedate surgical patients and, doctors say, should prove fatal by itself."
If it's going to be done - why not just triple, or quadruple the dose of the sedative then and kill them by overdose? Isn't that what they do for pets (or something like it)?

Aw, gee, IF accurate, this is a real shame, isn't it?

Well, I was going to say we need to swithch to the painless, peaceful, euphoric, dehydration/starvation method of execution, but I see everybody beat me to it- LOL

Clearly, we need to starve them to death. No suffering; just euphoria.Well said. Tell the big guy that a new Florida self-defense law would've allowed Terri Schiavo to defend herself with a gun under the new criteria of meeting "force with force".
Now that's good irony.

Has any former death row inmate returned to complain? If they do; give 'em one the next one free.

Moral Absolutes Ping.
I couldn't stand to read the whole article. This is a perfect example of false compassion, based on ignorance of real wisdom, real justice, and real compassion.
The real just and compassionate (for everyone) thing to do is as soon as the sentence is issued, take the criminal out to a field, tie him up, and either hang him (or her, as the case may be) or shoot him (or her etc). That's justice, and compassion.
To worry that the person who has caused terrible pain and harm and likely death to another person or persons may feel a teensy bit of pain during the execution of a death sentence is so egregiously stupid, asinine, wrongly directed compassion that I can hardly keep my dinner down.
It probably is just a ploy to eradicate any executions.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
Note: Plus, executions should be public so anyone who is thinking about committing similar crimes will have food for thought.

Terri Shindler wasn't asleep when she was dehydrated to death. No mercy at all was shown to her.
