Death penalty

We've had vets kill two of our dogs over the years when they became old and ill. The vet injected them. Both went down like a ton of bricks, took a breath or two and were gone -eyes rolled back and motionless except for a final sigh a little while later. Leaving aside ethical questions, why does not such a simple exit appear available to those condemned to be executed? Because the drugs are not available to those doing executions as the article points out In addition the lines are put in the condemned person's veins by 'technicians' not nurses, doctors, paramedics or any other medical professional with a professional association as all of them in the US will disbar and strike off anyone who participates in an execution. Not having medical qualifications or the ability to practice regularly they regularly botch the needle insertion, for eg putting the needle right through the vein so the substances introduced go into the arm instead of the blood. The rest of the civilised world, the pharmaceutical companies, ALL the medical and paramedical societies and much of their population including some of the relatives of the murdered are against this barbaric activity. Yet all this penetrates their thick skulls not at all? This is one of the sickest things I've ever read. The fact that those who put other human beings to death probably consider themselves good Christians is just beyond comprehension to me. "Thou shalt not kill". Ring a bell?
