Injection of Reflection

of course in China ,we also have the mobile execution vans,which make regular runs through the countryside. these do use lethal injecion mode. and are manned by medical team soldiers of the peoples' liberation army. it is a very effecient way to perform executions with least muss and fuss. often the clients are elders who no longer wish to continue with their life,or have become a burden on their families . some are ones convicted in absentia, by the peoples' courts ,and saves bring them in for execution. and some are children in excess of the one child limit .if the odffending parents agree to execution ,then they are not arrested and charged with the very serious crime of excess children .anyhow the teams have lists and make their trips and duties in a very effecient manner .right now disposal of the bodies are left up to families ,but there are mobile cremantoriums soon to be available ,and increase the effeciently greatly.

to pops who suggested that the guillotine execution be made public ,that is very fine idea. would be much greater deterrant that way.,of course in china people are allowed to watch executions if they want ,in olden days they were carried out in town squares ,and had a large audience ,but today in more civil times they have been moved to countryside ,and many people cannot make journey by bicycle and also since the condemmend's family can retreive the body after the execution ,and the organs are harvested,it is difficult to take body back to town on bicycle,so often is just left to be dozed under where is at. but still it is a very high deterrant ,as word gets back by ones who can manage to attend.

I wonder if the same people that are so against the death penalty are the the same ones that are so admant for abortion? I guess it is better to let a man who would bury a little girl alive after he raped her to live than the innocent ones that are murdered every day? What is the total abortions in the USA????thousands.........

I wonder if the same people that would abolish the death penalty are the ones that are for abortion? It seems that no one is worrying abourt those who are innocent, but want to preserve the life of a man that would bury a young girl alive after he raped her. Just a thought!!!!!!!!

in china they have very good way not only for murder,rape or othher violent,but drugs too if catch with drugs ,go before tribunal ,policeman present evidence, if guilty ,you are taken outside loaded on truck, with other guilties and taken out into countryside,there you are made to stand before prepared trench and officer with pistol shoot you in back of head,you fall into trench and soon are covererd up and at peace. later versions of this ,have you shot on flat ground ,by soldier with ak 47 or sks rifle in the spine instead of head ,,death also is instantanious as spinal cord is severerd ,then your organs may be harvested ,then after your organs are removed the rest of you and others are pushed into trench by bulldozer,and finally covererd..this method has not only reduced murder and rape in china ,but has mostly eliminated drugs too. a very good way.

Seigrella, a real MD would know that doctors are NOT required to perform the "lethal" techniques. A doctor is required to be present for the purpose of alleviating any unecessary pain during botched executions, but usually it will be a paramedic who actually performs the injections. Seigrella is either lying about being an MD, or like many MD's, has more ego than intelligence.

As an MD I was sworn to heal the sick and minimize their suffering . It is not the healer's job to kill, but to alleviate suffering. If society is bent on killing, and I am not passing any moral judgement on this, then we should have non-MD lay people whose job is to execute. Let not the hand that heals you be the one that kills you ...

As a Medical Doctor I took a vow to Heal NOT to Kill. If society is bent on the death penalty, and I am not making any moral judgements on the issue, tThen we should have trained executors to carry it. Once again, it is not the healer''s duty to end a life but the executioner's.

I do worry that an innocent person may be executed. But at the same time, I don't like the thought that there are so many people distraught over the pain a horrible individual may feel as justice is carried out. There was little regard given to the victim of the crime, so I feel very little compassion for the criminal. If that person had killed your child or parent, etc., would their discomfort weigh heavily on your mind? Probably not. I agree though that if the death penalty is abolished, some of the luxuries enjoyed by inmates needs to be abolished as well. They should be given the absolute basics of life and none of the 'extras' they now enjoy.

I go back and forth on the death penalty. On one hand, I hate the thought of executing an innocent person - but on the other hand, people who do horrible, sadistic things don't deserve to breathe our air. To think that a person who murdered a child gets the opportunity to graduate from college, paid for by the tax dollars of the parents of their victim - how messed up is that? I'd feel better about life in prison without parole versus the death penalty if prison held no luxuries. And I also hate that people seem more concerned with the prisoner, the convicted felon!, than the victim. Talk about jacked up priorities! Perhaps we should let the punishment truly fit the crime. They didn't give any consideration to the victim, so why should any consideration be given to them? They should receive as "cruel and unusual" punishment as they were dished out. I bet that would make criminals think twice about what they're doing!

did theses death row inmates murder in a humane way.................NOT

I will bet the convicts on death row did not murder in a humane way

So was it not "cruel and unusual punishment" that the victims went through?? This makes me so angry. These men/women lost that right when they killed. Let them suffer so they can feel what their victims went through. I don't feel one ounce of sorrow for anyone who is put to death.
