I am always amazed by these stories of executions or suicides that are traumatic or painful.
We seem to be able to routinely put dogs and cats “to sleep” without such problems.
Why are humans so different?
About 6 months ago I had to put our 13 yo pug "Toby" "to sleep". The doc told me he gave him a little more than normal because he was a big dog. He still suffered a death I would not wish on my enemy.
THIS is why we are so different:
Gen 2:7 And Jehovah God formed the man out of dust from the ground, and blew into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
