>>Lethal injection execution cruel, says US researchers
April 15, 2005

American researchers have called for a halt to lethal injection, the most common method of capital punishment in the United States, because it is not always a humane and painless way to die.

Some executed prisoners may have suffered unnecessarily because they had not been sedated properly, they said.

The way inmates are given lethal injections does not even meet veterinary standards for putting down animals, they added.<<
