Painless execution

How about a heroin OD? Or opium or some other painkiller?

Besides the actual definition of euthanasia is: The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment.

I was just saying that starvation has been one of natures natural way for the weak etc to die, so the body has built in process to make this less barbaric/painful as it seems, once i find the article i'll post it <3

I don't personally believe in Capital Punishment just because there is so much potential for innocent people to lose their lives (1 in 3 men sentenced to death in Michigan were later proven innocent).

Heroin OD actually sounds like an OK way to go if you have to die. I mean, I'd never touch the stuff...but if I was gonna die anyways? Hmm....

This thread isn't really about euthanasia. I'm just saying that since executions DO happen, and innocent people DO get executed, why not put forth some effort for a painless death like nitrogen asphixiation? And to del...., death would come long before any form of the bends was shown, and it wouldn't really be a chanber, it would be like a face-mask, so your body wouldn't be in the nitrogen atmosphere. And i know you would rather have that done to you than be electrocuted.

np A foo says, i was actually responding to what juggalo said not you.

Np Edgar :), i'm sure other people were wondering the same thing as I thought you were though, so why not post? <3

A Foo Says, i bet if you were being starved to death you wouldn't think that way. Evolution passes down the traits for a species to survive, not die easier. just because it's natural doesnt mean that somehow organisms have evolved to feel less pain.

to not die easy,IS to survive.It's believable.you can relate the subject to weed strains nowadays are much more potent/and resistant because of evolution.Thus,why not have a built up "euphoria gland" to be released when your gonna die,as a result of human evolution.
peace

You dont understand how evolution works. It's all about passing your genes to to next generation. This means all the traits an organism has before it mates/passes on genetic material are the only ones that matter. Some kind of euphoria or painlessness while dying would have no reason to be passed down the evolutionary chain. Because the ones dying, are not the ones mating. Trust me, dying sucks, unless you get crushed by a 100-ton freight container, it's gonna freakin' hurt.

I am against the death penalty. I think it gives them no chance to redeem themselves. and as sedric says, many are later proven innocent. almos TEN PERCENT nation wide. and they do it by od of potasium which stops the heart, no other way is legal in the US. It is said to be near painless as the heart completely stops so you do not suffer the pain of a heart atack. But it is still not a good idea.
