    To be fair, lethal injections also sound absolutely horrible (and for the record I agree fully that nobody should be executing anybody in the first place).

    Still, to me it sounds so absolutely terrifying to be in a situation where I know that my next breath will be my last, and having nothing but willpower to stay alive for however long I can. It sounds quite similar to torturing someone while leaving them a gun so they can end it when they can’t take anymore.

    At least with other methods you aren’t forced to pull the figurative trigger yourself.

    To me it really just underlines how barbaric and inhumane these death penalties are…
