Take it out before inserting the needle.
Solution: use rope, lead, or electricity instead.
Not that I intend to die at the hands of the State for crimes, I would ask to be hung or somehow killed so all my organs could be donated.
I mean, at least do SOMETHING useful.
The death penalty is barbarous. Even if it "served a useful purpose" which it does not, it is wrong on so many levels for the state to be allowed to take another life deliberately and willfully after that person is confined and not an imminent danger to another.
Of course, the state & the police have the right and duty to protect its citizens from the threat of great bodily harm by using deadly force. But after arrest and containment, no such right or duty exists, IMO. The only duty is to further protect its citizens by keeping dangerous criminals confined if not varifiably rehabilitated.
Of course, the prison system could do a lot more to rehabilitate the prisoners and make them productive while they are confined. We are living in the dark ages in our penal system concepts IMO.
I would question the general health and viability of anyone’s body organs if that person has been incarcerated for the last 20 years. The prison diet and the stress on that life style would likely be hard on the liver, pancreas and bile ducts. There may be undiagnosed cancers, patiently waiting to metastasize. Prison doctors can only be so diligent. A resident of death row would not be my first choice.
No, no, and…no. Bad business, bad idea. Too much like China.
Am I the only one thinking of Larry Niven’s Known Space series?
Is this an execution lasting more than 4 hours?
Is this a current news item? It is now mid-November, and they need until July to figure this out? JULY? The SOB has been in jail how long and they need seven and a half more months to “evaluate” this?
What a bunch of Bull.
