If you were sentenced to death would you rather have the electric chair, or lethal injection?

Having served on a murder jury already, I would choose to be on a case where there's a parking dispute or someone didn't pay their rent. Murder is hard. If you have the power to send someone to death, it is not as fun as it might seem.

NOPE, AN EYE FOR AN EYE!\n\nWHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM'S RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS?\n\nLETHAL INJECTION OR FIRING SQUAD ISNT REALLY CRUEL OR UNUSUAL.\n\nVICTIMS HAVE RIGHTS TOO!\n\nCRUEL AND USUAL WOULD BE FEEDING THE CONVICT TO A GATOR OR SHARK, ETC.\n\nP.S. - WHERE I COME FROM, WE CHOP OFF THE OFFENDING BODY PART!

I often thought the same thing like why not allow death row inmates to offer their services to the public by being used in medical experiments. The degree of severoity of the medical condition would have a direct bearing on the type of crime commited.

The death penalty, becase you wont have to suffer in jail for the rest of your life.

Advantage - if prosecutors purposefully or accidentally made a mistake, they can release the guy from jail.  They can't, however, un-dead him.\n\nAdvantage - Imposing a life sentence is cheaper (even counting the cost of incarceration) than imposing the death sentence.\n\nAdvantage - If you don't execute the person, you don't have to turn someone on the state payroll into a murderer.\n\nAdvantage - Life inmates can work.  Death row inmates are not allowed to work.

I would choose death. Life would not be worth living under a dogma with which I totally disagree.

too bad your young and naive.  Let me ask you this question.  What would you rather prefer?  Too be here in the USA being operated on by a jewish doctor who cared about your life, or being in china, in their prison system getting operated on?  Oh and by the way you should think about your answer cause in the united states people care about your survival.  In china they don't your body and organs could be parted out.  and be sold on the black market.  So I ask you again, what do you prefer?

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.

I'd rather be shot with a tranquilizer gun than have to cook! LOL!

I think that if the death penalty is warranted, than it doesn't matter how the peson dies.  The whole idea that lethal injection is "inhumane" is irrelevant.  And hypocritical.  You're killing someone, but you don't want to hurt them???  Absurd.  Lethal injection is fine, but too expensive.  Bullets are cheap, I think a single gunshot to the brain is the best way to carry out a death penalty sentence.

Neither really, but I'd rather not die anytime soon. This question reminds me of Seinfeld during one of his stand up routines, the bit goes something like. "They took a poll and the #1 fear of most Americans is public speaking, #2, death. Which means, if your attending a funeral you would rather be in the casket, then giving the eulogy."

I think it's a guillotine... quick and all there is, is that split second of "oh s**t, here it comes"!  and btw... murder is murder, but execution is PUNISHMENT (a difference)

Currently it is more expensive to keep someone on deathrow until execution than it is to keep them in prison for life.  Some estimates say that it can be up to three times as much to execute someone.  You cannot shorten the appeals process because of our constitutional right to appeal.
