What is worse, vivisection or being shot then burned?

Ehm.. I'd say vivisection is worse, provided of course that the gunshot kills you instantly.

Burned at the stake I believe.  That's gotta hurt.

Losing a whole nail by FAR is more painful. Getting hit by a baseball sort of stuns you for a second but for sheer pain nothing tops ripping off a piece of your body by accident.

It depends on the location of the burn, and how much of the body's surface it covers.  Small 2nd degree (sometimes called "partial thickness") burns aren't typically dangerous, unless they involve critical areas like the face, especially the mouth and nose or other parts of the airway.\n\nHowever, if the burns cover a large portion of the body, it can result in severe fluid loss, shock, and unfortunately, death.  \n\nNot knowing for certain how much of your brother's body is burned or what areas, I can't really give you a good answer.  Regardless, your brother is in for a painful recovery process.  Do what you can to help him out for awhile, he'll need it.

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 would have to say boiling as it would be a lot slower depending on what your boiling in but if your just talking about water then yeah alot more painful because it would take longer for you too die because it would not be an instant death at 100'c \nwhereas burning is at least 5 times hotter than this and will kill you a lot quicker also destroying your nerves quicker so you wouldn't feel it as much when you were alive

If you are shot, you could live.\n   If you are assasinated, you are dead.\n   Getting shot could be an attemped assasination.

Dude, if you have torsion, trust me, you won't be standing, and you will know it.  Imagine the most intense pain of your life, now imagine it a million times worse.  Seriously.  i was shot in iraq, and it didn't hurt as bad as tortion.

Definitely choice A!  Sex can be good and bad, like so many things in life.  If young people aren't prepared for it, it will end up being a bad thing.\n\nI often compare sex to fire.  Both are very good things that are necessary for survival, but only when one knows how to properly use them and take adequate precautions against any hazards.  Most of the hazards brought on by fire will never be faced by the majority of children.  This is probably because they are educated about it early in life ("Don't play with matches" "Stay away from the stove!" "Only YOU can prevent forest fires!"  "Stop, drop and roll." etc) and come to respect it.  And yet, when educating children about the dangers of fire, I have never heard someone say, "Hey...maybe we shouldn't teach them about this...they might get ideas and try to burn down the house."  The same principle should be applied to sex ed.  Who knows?  Maybe there would be less STDs and teen pregnancies if children were educated about it before they got the drive to have sex.  Too many are simply unprepared because people don't want to give them ideas.

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!

Both are terrible, but I think worse is the one who really takes time to pretend instead of using that time to actually wash away germs & bacteria.\n\nLord knows that this is a hot topic for me after ten years in a hospital setting.\n\nHave a good day, Dragon.  ♥

Dying from Fire...What a bummer

In English or German, the answer would be the same.  Although the bullet may not cause enough physical damage, there are other things to consider, including site of entry.\nMythbusters never shot a live animal (too much fuss for a publicly viewed TV show).  If they had, they might have answered the question better.  If shot into major artery, the vicitm would probably die of blood loss.  I am not sure of what would happen if shot into the ear or the roof of the mouth.  If the victim lived, it might never be the same.\nUnlike the water bullet, if the blood was the vicitm's, I do not think this could be discovered.  I loved the question.

I am more scared of fire.  I am a fireman, and their is nothing more harmful than the toxic gases and carbons that are released from poralysis.
