Ohio Governor Ted Strickland has halted executions by the state until it can figure out a way to make capital punishment less hurty.

I mean, we should abolish capital punishment. But while it's still legal, why aren't we drugging people to sleep and then killing them? The punishment is supposed to be the cessation of living, not the experience of dying.
Isn't that what basically lethal injection is? I thought the current argument is that the "drugging people to sleep" part is not painless.
You know what would have a very short period of pain? A bullet to the head. Gruesome, yes. But quick.
Anesthesiologists know how to knock people out for surgery, is what I mean. Why isn't it working for lethal injections?
I mean, putting people to sleep for surgery isn't even the hardest part of the anesthesiology job. It's keeping them asleep without killing them. Right? Which obviously isn't a concern for capital punishment.
I hear ya. "Take the amount you'd give him for heart surgery and double it." I don't get it. Maybe we should open a clinic or something.
Sometimes it even kills them.
Lethal Injection is less medical than medicalesque. The AMA is, understandably, very much against involving doctors in the process.
Why do they use a three-step cocktail which may or may not paralyze people before they stop breathing, inducing buried-aliveishness, instead of just doping them up on lethal amounts of morphine? The $$? ?
How about Balk's morning commute? Can Governor Strickland find a way to make that less hurty?
Balk just needs some aggression training. In life there are two types of people: spitters, and spittees.
They have been experimenting with death by Arby's but that method had proved slow.
Does anyone know the lethal dosage of Oprah?
Five seconds.
if they were really concerned about the humane-ness, wouldn't they let them out of ohio?
