I've heard that it is love of the last minute appeal. Nitrogen asphyxiation, barbiturate overdose and a dozen other methods of execution all have a interim period of a few minutes in which the prisoner either cannot be revived or would be brain damaged if he was.

Well as long as the “mentally disabled” gave informed consent, I guess it would be ethical. /s/
As long as they aren't murderers.
Then suddenly we have to be humane.

It won’t just be the elderly.
Then the same drugs can be used on Death Row inmates, as they are approved for human use.
