Honestly, if I had to go, this might be my first choice.3000 ft jump with no chute works very well. Over a forest, ocean or other natural setting is very environmentally friendly too. Feeds both flower and fauna.
From my understanding, their consciousness is there regardless of how they die. Basically, I think it is a case that the brain just hasn't died from lack of oxygen yet, but it may only be minutes.
Even so, it gives them those last few moments to make peace with themselves before they pass. Its not like their death was a shock (considering how long it takes from conviction to execution). With that quick of a separation I doubt there is enough time to feel any pain, so they are not suffering. Even if that was the case, put them under general anesthesia then decapitate them.
Man that brings up a whole different conversation...letting death row inmates sit on death row for years...even decades.
I think swift justice should coincide with a fair and speedy trial.

which brings up another conversation, what if the trial (or process) wasn't fair...?
You can "what if" everything to death...
Due process is kind of important, and another constitutional right. Appeals can take time, especially with courts clogged with victimless drug possession cases. Unless someone confessed to a capital offense and hasn’t recanted, I want it to take as long as it needs to to make sure we got it right before they’re executed. There have been too many people exonerated while on death row to handle it any other way. And a lot of them were put there in times when investigatory standards, forensic techniques, etc. had even more critical flaws than they have now. Remember bite mark analysis? Complete sham “science” used to lock up tons of people, many of who are still in prison today, even though we now know bite mark analysis doesn’t work, even a little bit (accuracy is something like 3%).
And that’s exactly what we should do when we’re talking about killing someone. There’s no room for “oops” in this game.
An appeal is basically another trial, which should once again be fair and speedy.
you certainly can. Only this 'what if' isn't a hypothetical. There are real cases where someone sentenced to death was shown to be innocent and only come to light years (or decades) after the trial. Some people's definition of 'speedy' would have had this person executed long before the miscarriage of justice came to light.
What if, in our desire to streamline capital punishment, we kill an innocent person...
Yeah, that is one hell of a 'what if' for someone.
