Midazolam and the Supreme Court

There are soooo many drugs out there that would be totally suitable...and hell since bath salts are so deadly just give them a huge dose of that haha...I'm kind of devided on the death penalty in cases when the crime was so heinous and ppl died horri ly painful deaths, its almost a feeling of so what if the condemned dies in pain, that person didn't give any consideration to the ppl they killed.

Why don't they just go back to firing squad? A bullet is a hell of lot less expensive than even a vial of any of those drugs and it's quicker

Couldn't they just give a bog dose of propofol and some crazy potent fent analog and then the potassium chloride?? Seems pretty quick and painless.

I saw a video on bestgore of some poor bastard being executed with an anti aircraft cannon. Suffice it to say there was not much left.
 
From the article:

In July, Joseph Wood gasped for air for one hour and fifty-seven minutes in Arizona during his executions with the same two-drug cocktail.

Oklahoma first used a three-drug midazolam cocktail identical to Florida's to execute Clayton Lockett last April. During his execution, an improper IV placement failed to deliver enough of the paralytic drug into his bloodstream, and he died of a massive heart attack while writhing in pain.

I imagine these are not good guys if they're on death row (and are guilty without question), but that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. In one of the other threads on here about the Brazilian guy executed in Indonesia he was killed by firing squad. I think that's sort of a fucked up way to be executed, but I'd much rather face a firing squad instead of being killed slowly and painfully.

One hour and 57 minutes to execute Joseph Wood? That's fucked up.
 
I think it's amusing how the DEA busted some state's balls for importing barbiturates illegally, LOL. How some states have obtained said drugs has often been really shady...weren't they importing them from the backroom of some veterinary clinic in eastern Europe or something for a while?

A super-lethal dose of a stimulant would be a particularly horrible way to die.

It seems to me that a simple opioid/benzodiazepine combination should be able to be found that is consistently fatal at high enough dosages.
 
Lol sorry I meant the bath salt thing as a joke, yea a high dose of a terrible stim like that would be one of the worst ways to die...

Look at all the ppl who od on dope cut with fent and they have tolerance as well...ppl die from opis a d benzos on a daily basis...how hard is it to get this right?
 
If I had to die I think a fent+Valium combo would be the way I would pick. I think the problem that states run into is that doctors are ethically bound to not assist in developing the procedure. So you have a bunch of non medically trained people browsing Wikipedia trying to figure this shit out. Like the one guy where they missed the shot into his leg artery. Thats a fuckimg amateur mistake a competant ER doctor would never make. But they have these EMT basic guys trying to perform shit they have no business doing. The whole situation is a cluster fuck.
 
Didn't that one young woman who was terminally ill simply take a massive dose of secobarbital to die? That seems pretty straightforward. ..
 
Midazolam is a totally painless way to go out of this world.

you black out without having time to realize you are going to black out, it feels much like going to sleep painlessly

A+ would do again. <3 anesthesiologists

it personally sickens me that lawyers want to prolong their clients' lives and do so at the bastardizing and demonizing quality, amazing medications
 
That's what a plywood enclosure is for haha. One day someone will invent a laser guillotine that cauterizes the cut and no one will see anything... Give the condemned some sedative load them in the thing, laser slices the head off and into a basket and that's it.

Or even crazier, .ake the laser in resident evil where it dices that guy into cubes
