I tried to call Fallin one time. Chick that answered the phone said the Governor was having some OHP for dinner and couldn't talk. Her mouth was full.

This thread just took on a whole new level of epic !! Well played sir.

With the "lower animals", cervical dislocation is the preferred method when lethal injection is not available. It is considered very quick and painless. So while it looks brutal, hanging would actually be quite humane. I think appearances have a great deal to do with it, plus maybe somebody in power watched "Hang 'em High". I think a bullet to the head would serve much the same purpose. But again, it probably LOOKS too gruesome. All that said, considering how much empathy the killer had regarding the suffering of his/her victim and the families, who gives a *#&% how much they suffer when they're executed?!?
It would be the simplest thing in the world to cause a quick, absolutely painless sleep and slip into death. The only pain that would be experienced is from the needlestick to start the IV. The drugs needed are available in every hospital in the state, cheap and effective, used multiple times every single day in every location.
The only reason there's a hooplah over any of this is politics. If they wanted to make it quick and painless, it would be done in 5 minutes, if they would take the politics out of it.

Cooking a human ain't cool. Ask any of the witnesses. Gas ain't cool, so says the witnesses. Hanging ain't cool, so sayeth witnesses. Fireing squad, same thing. In fact about every method of execution has been botched.
Hanged until dead....Some of them didn't die. Fireing squads didnt always end in death. Ol sparky malfunctions and there's a mess. The way I understand executions is we get one chance to do it right. If they live then what?

The cocktail they've used for last 25 years was good and working. But drug companies either stopped selling or making them. Then we started importing the cocktails, then countries that don't have the DP quit exporting the drugs.
So states started making up their own cocktails.....stuff that hadn't been tried on humans. That equates to experimentation. We don't experiment on prisoners without consent. That's the dilemma. And that's the short answer.
So is it wrong to experiment on prisoners? We could make some serious medical advances.....
I have no idea what they've used in the past, or what they're using now, nor am I getting all up in arms and pissed off over what happened here recently, as I wasn't there and don't know. Neither was anyone else on this board. All we have to go on is media reports - and we all know how well they do that. I can read the story of what happened and imagine half a dozen different scenarios of how that went down, and easily could understand how it has been wildly overblown. But again... I don't know, I wasn't there.
All I know is, it's SIMPLE to come up with a quick, cheap, easy, painless and readily available cocktail to achieve the desired result.
The ONLY reason it is an issue is politics. NOTHING ELSE.
