That was a tour de force in stupidity. Every method you have named, was designed to hasten the final result, and increase the humaness of a terrible event, that many believe is sometimes needed.
And don’t play naive, everyone on earth knows why women there are stoned to death. So you know good and well that the punishment doesn’t fit the “crime”. The only people who dont know are “wise princes” from the middle east.
Making killing clean and easy doesn’t seem to me to be the best way to ensure only the guilty are killed. As I said, making the community play a role in capital punishment makes the community accountable and I don’t think that is a bad thing.
You are right, I was playing naive in order to spark debate and I think I’ve done that. I want to be very clear that I don’t think the Iranian justice system has anything to do with Justice. My main point was that the idea of “humanely” murdering someone doesn’t appeal to me as much as others. Stoning, electric chair, firing squad all lead to the same outcome. I do however take the point that you don’t necessarily want to torture people in handing out the sentence (a point someone else made to me)
