As people have mentioned; - No one can tell us how painful it is. - It's not as guaranteed as people say. - Guns have a chance to misfire or malfunction. Again, it can't be more painful than electrocution if done right and is certainly quicker. Despite no testimony from dead people, I don't really think there can be much dispute that having your brain destroyed is relatively merciful. Malfunctioning is something that can happen with any method so I don't really see it as a factor. I was actually comparing it to the toxic cocktail method. But then don't your first and third points also fall under the cocktail? Well even if someone could tell you what it's like to die of poison cocktail, you still can't compare it to being shot in the head because you have no baseline for being shot in the head. On top of that, from all accounts I am aware of, the poison is relatively peaceful. As for misfiring; I'm sure the poison can go wrong, but I'd guess that it has a smaller chance to fail than a gun, even if by a small chance. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:888575660] in Why don't ...
