Read the first posting that I started it with, the first paragraph. Especially where it reads: "Let'S ignore that debate."

Subman said what was his, you said what was yours, I said what was mine on that side-issue. I can understand that this side-discussion would be showing up in this thread - the temptation is close when you say something about a method of execution - but I don't want it to continue hijacking this thread.

the issue of this thread is that chemical execution does not seem to work reliable and may cause a considerable ammount of pain and cruelty to the deliquent, and that this should be changed, since it is not in congruence with american legal standards. Else we will end up sooner or later with not just killing prisoners, but by an argument of "an eye for an eye" torturing them to death.

and then we are on the same level with those who still commit stoning-to-death.

If this topic continues to change into a discussion on how un-/justified death penalty is, i will ask a moderator to lock this thread. You can start a new one focussing on just this issue. We also had some of these in the past. But it is not the theme of this thread.
