Found thread about Hospira's cessation of sodium thiopental (aka sodium pentathol) production here. How come nobody else in the USA makes it?

No worries we’ll just resurrect Ol’ Sparky.

We could launch them head first through a giant wood chipper.

They would be hamburger so fast, (and with no part of any size connected to any other part) that there would be no time to feel pain and no body to feel pain. That’s humane.

The death penalty states will just bring back “Old Sparky.”

No healthy adult wants to die, but given a choice, most of us would choose “going to sleep” first.

That’s an interesting question, though.

To all readers...

If you were wrongly convicted in a death penalty case, what would be your first choice in execution method?

Nitrogen Asphyxiation - simply the cleanest, cheapest, safest, painless way to execute someone. Strap the condemned down, place a mouth and nose breathing mask with two feeds. Feed one is normal air, feed two is 99.5% industrial nitrogen. Valve between the two should be either 1 or 2 and should be triggered electronically.

Add a brain wave monitor to determine when the brain activity stops. Set the valve to switch between 1 and 2 when the clock runs out. Wait till there is no more brain wave activity for 5 min. Done. The condemned just goes to sleep.

There hundreds of drugs that could be used as a substitute

Well what execution style the Krauts would suggest, seeing they are the Jewish-execution champions of all time.

After 10 years, any death row inmate not executed, should receive a one-way ticket to countries which complain about us having the DP.

There was a thread going around this week-end, something like most beautiful celebrities. I can think of a scenario which would result in my death, far preferable to anything on this thread yet.

"No worries we’ll just resurrect Ol’ Sparky."

But is it derived from clean renewable energy ?

We still have domestic-made bullets . . . they’re cheaper, more accurate, and finish the job with little environmental damage. Sure stops recidivism.

This whole brew haha about medicine for death penalty is garbage.

Use what hospitals use for anesthesia, count back from 100 and by 97 your out like a light. Just keep giving until dead.

1 drug needed...why they use 3 to kill someone is stupid and politically motivated...Hell, have a vet come in and do it...3 seconds and the dog is peacefully put down, they just keep giving the med until the syringe is empty....better than those that get the death penalty deserve...
