> There’s completely painless ways to die. ... > There’s nothing stopping an ethical death penalty except the ethics of the people implementing This comment implies that the *method* of killing is the fundamental ethical problem with the death penalty. The killing part is the fundamental problem for me.

The people who manufacture the drugs that make you go peacefully have embargoed the USA, because they don't want their drugs used for state sanctioned murder. > * **Manufacturer Bans:** Pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Baxter International, B. Braun Medical, Fresenius Kabi, and Johnson & Johnson, have established policies to stop their products from being used in capital punishment. > > * **EU Export Restrictions:** In 2011, the European Union passed anti-torture measures that prohibit the trade of goods used for capital punishment.

> And the people who want this, want it to be a painful gruesome death. Yeah. If done correctly, a bullet to the head is quick and painless, as in, you are dead before your body has recognized that you've been shot. But the people who want this want suffering, so likely firing squads will be ordered to hit body parts that will not result in instant, painless death but rather a gruesome and agonizing death from shock and blood loss.
