Topic	If countries are gonna have capital punishment, firing squad is most humane
The_Viscount 03/07/22 2:13:45 PM #19:	Firing squads aren't humane for anybody, victim or perpetrator (unless the perp is a sociopath, at which point it's still not healthy even if they're enjoying it) The most "humane" option for capital punishment would probably be carbon monoxide poisoning because it's quick and supposedly painless. Most people who die from it just fall asleep without ever realizing. However, poison gas has terrible optics (due to its association with with mass executions performed by a certain nation), so I'm not sure any country would be comfortable publicly using it (and the few that might are also ones indifferent towards peoples' suffering anyway) Over-sedating somebody would also be relatively humane, although not as painless as monoxide poisoning. The only knock on CO is people would know it's happening (because it's announced as happening, since otherwise you wouldn't) and potentially panic. Ferarri619 posted... Lethal injection has made prisoners suffer for hours because of botched attempts, some even going as far as jamming tons of injections in and prisoner still not dying. That's not a problem with lethal injection itself, it's a problem with countries denying access to the lethal injection drugs. Prior to that, you never saw long lethal injections and the victims didn't outwardly suffer (and, since they died sedated, you couldn't tell what pain they might've felt) Ferarri619 posted... Electric chair is probably better but still torture. ...the electric chair is far more prone to mishap than lethal injection with the right chemical. Ferarri619 posted... firing squad would at least be the most "humane" method. Change my mind Firing squads are perhaps the least humane option and have the highest risk of something going wrong at first. Ferarri619 posted... Not when a firing squad is unloading their entire clips. That's not how most firing squads work. Certainly not in capital punishment. iirc, traditionally only one or two people have live ammo, the rest have blanks, so nobody is really sure who killed the person. ReturnOfFa posted... Hanging can be when done properly. Technically, even when done improperly it can still be painless, since going too long with the rope can lop off a person's head. It's only when too little rope is used that it's an issue. Accrovideogames posted... There's no humane way to kill.
