Can someone answer me why we still use a shitty cocktail flurry to kill someone? Isnt anesthesia itself able to kill you at a high enough dose because you just stop breathing? Could you also just add an excessive push of something like fent? Like as inhumane as execution is, putting someone to sleep and then overloading them with a killer seems a pretty humane way to go about it.
This is from hazy memory: I think theres some issue about the drug manufacturers refusing to supply the drugs because it would be bad PR, “this drug is also used for executions” type of thing
That’s essentially it. They had “better” drugs but supplying them was already a bitch, they had to do it through the backdoor, and then as soon as someone published who the drug was coming from, they stopped supplying it.
I thought an issue with using actual prescriptions like fent or morphine or whatever is that the healthcare industry can’t break the ethical code of do-no-harm. So they’ve had to find ways around that

I thought it was a injection into a vein. Thats pretty horrendous way to do it.
Lol, I meant how they got their supplies of the drug.

Yes I know. I was just making a silly joke.
