how are people killed when given the death penalty? who chooses this?

Answer 1

It depends on the state or country. In the U.S. Different states have different rules. Some have lethal injection, because it's considered more humane. While other states require the electric chair, to make the penalty fit the crime. State law makers make the laws.

Answer 2

In 1998 North Carolina made lethal injection its only method of execution and here is how the procedure goes:

The lethal injection process involves the simultaneous slow pushing into two intravenous lines of chemicals contained in two separate sets of syringes. The syringes are prepared in advance and each contains only one drug.

The first syringes contain no less than 3000 milligrams of sodium pentothal, an ultra short acting barbiturate that quickly puts the inmate to sleep. The second syringes contain saline to flush the IV line clean.

The third syringes contain no less than 40 milligrams of pancuronium bromide (Pavulon), which is a chemical paralytic agent. The fourth syringes contain no less than 160 millequivalents of potassium chloride, which at this high dosage interrupts nerve impulses to the heart, causing it to stop beating. The fifth syringes contain saline to flush the IV lines clean.

After a flat line displays on the EKG monitor for five minutes, the warden pronounces the inmate dead and a physician certifies that death has occurred.
