Well. I'm not a fan of the death penalty anyway. I never liked it because the only way you get the death pnealty it because you killed someone... and when you get sentenced to death then... it's only more killing... and more suffering, right? And that's just not right.
But, like pretty much everyone has said. If I had to choose then it would be the lethal injection. You feel nothing.
If someone else were supposed to get the death penatly then I think they should get the lethal injection as well... they may have killed someone else but still... It's quicker and more efficent.

I think the lethal injection is the most humane way. It's still inhumane, bcause doctors won't do it- the hypocratic oath won't let them (first, do no harm. administering a killing injection is usually considered harm)- so someone who is technically not qualified has to do so, which could lead to a slow, painful death for the person on the receiving end. I have no qualms with the death penalty, I just think they need to find a painless way to do it.

I can't even begin to contemplate why anyone would ever be in support of the death penalty ._.
But then in this country we don't have as many nutjobs.
But high treason is still punishable by death, which seems a bit thick, seeing as no one gives a s**t about the royal family anymore anyway.

silver nymph I'd say lethal injection, because it's the less cruel method. However, I don't think giving people death sentence is any good, because if you think about it, after they kill them, only the family suffers and everything's over. On the contrary, if it were life sentence, you can be certain the criminals will suffer in jail and actually pay for what they did. I quite agree with that. The familt shouldn't suffer and the criminal would probably rather die than stay in jail for such a long time.

I personally liked the line-em-up-and-shoot-em suggestion.

Lethal injection, definitely. It doesn't give the sadists the pleasure of watching someone die in pain, and it has no measure of uncertainty like the other two. You cannot escape the needle. And it does not cause pain. First off, causing pain brings you down to the level of the criminal.
But most importantly:
You do not torture a rabid dog. You put it down. Same thing applies for criminals that have been sentenced to death.

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. Then lets put it this way: you don't torture a pitbull that has just bitten a child. You put it down. Say it with me. "Touché."And I know you do the same things, too. So we're really not that different, me and you.

!Emily_Luv! I say let 'em rot in a dark hole where they never know what is going to come out of the walls untill they're old and they die. If I had to choose, I'd say leathal injection is probably the least painful. The chair is just stinky, and hanging takes a while... If they're really bad, I'd say peel off their skin one layer at a time... then sit their bodies out in the sun in a place no one can smell them and wait till all thats left is bones 'cause they evaporated... that's a good idea, but nowadays, almost any prisoner, with out a death sentence, could get out of jail early on good beahvior, and because you say that they should rot, well, that wouldn't be considered a death sentence, thus if they acted in a good manner for a matter of weeks, they could possibly be released on parole.

Thank you for pointing this out. I think it is naive to state that criminals are NOT ill. Need I point out how many criminals are in institutions for mental health? Are you telling me that Ted Bundy was okay in the head? Or even Charles Manson? I think not. Not all are mentally unstable but enough of them are to warrant concern. To play the devil's advocate, the irony of using the term "humane" in conjunction with "execution" is slightly amusing to me, and seems to be a term that individuals use to rectify the "murder" of another human being. The difference between killing an individual outside of the law, and inside a Government building is what..? Murder vs. justice? Vengeance murder is not okay, but execution is?

If they would strangle people, then Hanging.
If they shot, then the chair.
But not injection because they deserve to go just like thier victims.

I'd choose lethal injection. While the person did do a horrendous and terrible crime, hanging is just too horrible for me, and the electric chair can get really disgusting and messy (I've watched the Green Mile).
