It does sound awful, if you understand what goes on in that persons body when they're injected. Especially if they aren't sedated properly. Ah man, capital punishment really makes me sad, I'm not saying I'm against it, but it's just an awful situation it seems like.

Just a guess would be a combination of habit (as the other answerer so far has said), and perhaps the extremely unlikely possibility that there will be a reprieve of some sort after the IV lines go in, but before the lethal injection is released. So they'd do the sterile-site thing so there'd be a decreased chance of the prisoner getting some blood-borne disease. \n\nIt's very good question, though. The prison system will go to great lengths to keep a deathrow inmate alive so that s/he'll be healthy at the time of execution. That's justice, no?

Assuming that you are talking about here in the United States; In order for someone to be eligible for the death penalty they would have to kill at least one person and probably more. My question is: is their death by lethal injection any more cruel than what they did to their victims? So my answer is, they are getting better than they deserve when they are executed and it is too humane.

Because the harm from an attempted crime is less than for an actual crime. Also, it is not usually the case that someone tries to shoot someone and misses, but that they shoot someone and the person does not die. If that person meant to kill the other person, they should get a harsher punishment than they would for simply shooting someone.

Well, an insulin needle is no different than the needles used by nurses to give kids their tetanus shots. It is specifically known as a hypodermic needle. \n\nGo to this link for an explanation!http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msyringe.html\n\nIn case you cannot reach this link, here is the text:\n\n"The key to syringe making is forming the hollow tube, or cannula. Processes to make small tubes and hollow needles are quite old, and almost always begin by forming a large tube. This large tube is formed by either rolling a sheet of metal into a tube and welding the seam, or by taking a solid billet of metal and boring a hole through the center while the metal is heated (creating "seamless tubing").\n\nThis large tube is softened by heating it (called annealing), then drawn through a tool called a die--which in this application of the word is essentially a hardened piece of metal with a small hole. As the tube is drawn through the die it both stretches, increasing the tube length, and shrinks, decreasing the tube diameter. The tube is passed through smaller and smaller dies, continuing to stretch in length and shrink in diameter, until the desired size is reached. The last drawing through the die is often done without heat, therefore cold-working the tube to increase its strength and hardness. Sometimes a stiff piece of wire or a mandrel is placed inside the tube to prevent the walls from collapsing while it is being drawn, but often the process relies on incredibly consistent steel quality and high-tolerance equipment to manufacture cannulae that meet the specifications.\n\nBecton Dickinson, one of the largest manufacturers of syringes in the world, says it makes syringes using 3/4-inch-wide stainless steel rolled and welded into a 1/4-inch diameter tube, then heated, drawn, and finally cold-drawn to its final size. Some of those sizes are pretty small. \n\nThe tubes are straightened, cut to the proper length, cleaned, and then the tip or bevel is cut onto the end. The piercing end of the bevel, right on the very tip, is called the lancet or as I like to call it, the "&$#%@*"! Many different styles of lancet can be cut; which one is selected depends upon the application--to be blunt (no pun intended), what portion of your body it's designed to poke holes into. Contrary to popular belief, sharper is not always better--medical professionals rely on the slight resistance of the needle through the skin to ensure that it penetrates to the correct depth and doesn't go bouncing off a bone, into your brain, etc.\n\nAs to your last question, the simple answer is that the "stuff" is able to get through because it is small enough to get through. Needles certainly must be matched to the application--try pushing honey through a 32-gauge needle, and you're going to need a lot of force if you can do it at all. This is one of several reasons why most injectable drugs have a recommended needle and syringe size or size range."\n\nI hope this helps!

If the three persons are deaf and dumb. Also, if they are illiterate or physical handicapped(Without hand or legs(some write or draw by leg also)).   \n After all Killing is cold-blodded activity. :-)

Its a cheap form of amphetimine (an ingredient in soe cold medicines). It keeps you up, speeds up your heart rate and so on and is generally used to provide energy of to keep you awake (so that you can stay up to enjoy the night). Its basically impossible to overdose and isnt anywhere near as dangerous as something like cocaine (or even cigarettes). The issue with use is that impurities can be mixed in and these can be really bad. The trick if youre going to try it is to make sure you know the person youre getting it from

All of the reasons given are valid. Also, the artery walls are thicker, meant to take more pressure, so trying to get a needle into them (smaller, thicker, pulsing, higher pressurized) means more work. They are also deeper, so it is harder to locate them, usually.\n\nI had a doc try to do an arterial blood gas stick on me when I was poisoned once. They were trying to take it from the back of my hand, between the knuckles. Very painful and very very hard to keep the stick. I asked them why they were doing it. They explained that the symptoms I was exhibiting were also the same as carbon monoxide poisoning. I told them I would sign ANYTHING if they would stop trying to stick me there.\n\nI had brought in a bag of the mushrooms we had consumed (jack o'lanterns) thinking they were chanterelles. Projectile vomitting three hours afterward. No mistaking what caused it. Anyway, the liver function came back pretty well in a week.\n\nMy experience with an artery stick.

I was reading that they are using the Depro-Provera shot as a chemical castration in some states.  The shot probihits the male from sexual excitement. \n\nI am a firm believer that if you use to something to cause harm to others it should be taken away. \n\nIf a cop find out you shot a guy they take your gun.\n\nWell if you rape someone they should take that organ too.\n\nIts called fairness.

Doctors can give you an injection that collapses the vein and does away with them.  It is called scelrotherapy (unsure of spelling).  If they are real bad they can be stripped out too but I hear that is real painful.

If I were going to die, I would choose lethal injection, I guess. We could always implement an overdose execution then at least the criminals could go off into lala land happily....BUT, that's too easy for them. I say hang em.

All of those forms have some draw backs.\n\nPerhaps the guys on the firing squad were up late the night before on a drinking binge, and their aim and general demeanor is not what it should be when they aim for the heart...and miss.  Oops.\n\nSitting in a chair being flash fried can't be all that humane and there have been several instances in which inmates were not instantly killed, but had to be subjected to multiple electric shocks.\n\n"Hanged by the neck until dead."  Well, what happens if the neck in question doesn't snap immediately?  The person just dangles and jerks around as they slowly asphyxiate.  \n\nAnd lethal injection?  Well, out of the four you mention, that's probably the most humane...a little pin prick and two intravenous catheters are inserted in the arms and the chemicals are magical injected and the person dies within 7 minutes.  (hopefully)\n\nIs there a humane way to put someone to death?  Probably not.  But then again what's humane about the death penalty?

Good Damn Question.Because I wanna give someone a lethal injection with the best doctors in the world around to revive him.Once they bring him back to life and his vital signs are normal,I wanna kill his azz again!!!!!!!!! Ya feel me??

I seriously doubt these guys did any intentional harm. It makes no sense, they have zero motivation. One of the accused is a Palistinian Doctor. Why would he seek to kill fellow Arabs? \n\nThe Bulgarian nurses, again what motivation would they have? Bulgaria really does not care about the Middle East. \n\nThat torture and rape happened is very believeable. So the confessions are useless. What is believable is that libya is using the situation to blackmail money and other considerations out of Europe. A very typical game Ghadifi is well known for. The nurses and Doc on the other hand have already paid heavily for apparently volenteering to work in such a hell hole in the first place. \n\nLast we are talking about some unsanitary conditions. No screening of blood products, no needle sanitation. It's a wonder there isn't a huge empidemic going on there.

Yes they do! Althought they are killing you they still have to comply with medical standards because you are still alive at the time of injection!

This means that a syringe is put into their head and the person is killed.  Their body gets shot down a garbage tube.  It is very sad.  But no one in the book has feelings.  Only Jonas does.  But the book has a great lesson!  Enjoy!
