Why are Lethal Injections seen as unconstitutional?

Question

Is it seen as torture?

Answer 1

I have no idea why the bleeding hearts want to put an end to lethal injection. It was MUCH more humane than the electric chair. I think it's just a back door agenda to ending capital punishment. They think all death sentences are unconstitutional. But, I say an eye for an eye and we need to carry out more of these death row sentences rather than waste my tax dollars on appeal after appeal.

Answer 2

They aren't.

The Supreme Court has agreed to consider the question. That doesn't mean they're unconstitutional, it just means that the court is going to decide whether they are or not.

The stays of execution are simply the court saying "slow down, no rushing people in under the gun when the case is pending".

No, however the crimes committed by potential of people who gained the demise penalty have been cruel and unusual. a million of the medicine could reason severe discomfort? And? Your factor? i think a homicide/rapist could desire to could desire to take delivery of as plenty confort as accessible previous to executions? What are you kidding me? No. No sympathy for those creatures that have preyed upon the harmless. i could have not have been given any subject with a rapid bullet to the top - yet which would be cruel and unusual in view that they could die only approximately directly - too undesirable. the only ingredient that concerns to me in a demise penalty case is that the prosecutors have the suitable defendant. that they had greater beneficial be darn effective its the suitable killer or they are no greater beneficial than the certainly murderers on demise row.

Answer 4

More as cruel and unusual punishment. Since a doctor can't be involved in mixing the chemicals used (Hippocratic oath) they are often done incorrectly. If so, the prisoner ends up suffocating to death in agonising pain, since they were not knocked out for long enough.

Answer 5

they arent yet, but the electric chair wasnt either until not so ling ago, so l.i. is probably gona be illegal soon too.. but i think they wil keep it until they find a less painful way to die(how do they know that when a soul leaves a body it doesnt hurt lke heck even if u were kild painlessly?)

Answer 6

dont really care if they are tortue. the person sentenced to death should die like their victim.
I figure you lost your "rights" when you killed somebody.

Add on: I am really tired of those killers complaining about their childhood and how they are mentally incompetened.

take a look at John Couey> He didnt sound "stupid" when they interviewed him in Georgia in this bar. Yet he claims he is retarted. Somebody who kills a little by stuffing her little body in a plastic bag while she is still alive and lets her suffocate to death , has no rights. he is fit to stand trial and die. He knew it was wrong to kill her thats why her hid her body. If somebody wouldnt no its wrong, he would just leave the body where it was.
Stop keeping the guys(and girls), who were found gulity of murder and proven by DNA or by own admission , in prison for years , its wsting taxpayers money.

Answer 7

because the activist parties inthis country think it is wrong for people executed by lethal injection to die anywhere close to as painfuly or badly as the people the killed or injured before they were given this death sentance.

Answer 8

Because apparently someone they executed told them it was a suffering way to die. I don't know how, but that would be the conclusion from their argument. I say kill them within six months, but only with DNA evidence.
