I'm not asking ,here, about the morality of state exicutions.; but rather, how legal exicutions should be done.
There have been many objections to recent exicutions where the person being exicuted seemed to be in great pain.

Once society has decided that capital punishment is legal, according to the constitution, it should be done in the manner that society deems most humane .

The Uncanny Comic:---Amusing answer, but not exactly what I was looking for.
I probably should have placed this question in a medical forum.---Sorry.

Our current means of lethal injection is a medical procedure, but the question is: is this the best procedure to reduce the amount of pain?

Because heart and brain surgery has a lower risk of death than execution......

I have another, what is probably a one-man, opinion on this one.
While there exists individuals who, by their own behavior, demand immediate execution,....
I question the condition of our legal system. I do not trust our system to decide who should be executed. We have too much politics involved and a disgusting situation where
Prosecutors, all too often, make decisions based upon their political aspirations.
This is a sorry system and it is ours.

The question implies that if if we have the skill to perform complex surgeries like heart and brain , that same skill should be applied to executions .
I can't imagine a team of doctors exiting a surgery room after 4 hours of sophisticated surgery saying ," That was tricky. but we finally killed the #!!@@@

Because humans weren't meant to end the life of someone else. That should only be done by God alone. It's not "easy" to kill someone.

wait a minute, you can't call any execution "humane", unless you don't tell them ur killing them, and then suddenly do while they're sleeping. But that would be hard.
