[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1604487, member: 423"] Cruel and unusual punishment would be drawing and quartering, decapitation, or other forms of gruesome mutilation that *eventually* leads to death. I agree that the electric chair is too much. Having been hit with 110v a few times, electric shock is the second to last way I'd want to go. Getting body parts cut off until you either sever the spinal cord or bleed to death being the last. Umm.. add starvation to that. That would top the list. But cruel and unusual *DOESN'T* say that it has to be painless, or "humane", or God forbid: politically correct. You put a suffering dog that was a faithful family pet down in a "humane" way. You execute a convict in a way that is both quick, and effective as a demonstration to those that would consider the same crime. Passing peacefully into a permanent sleep is not the only way to meet the not "cruel and unusual" requirement. [/QUOTE]
