    sorta hard not to. someone sticking the needle in or working the contraption. no matter how much you automate someone is going to be the last human thing that instigates the process. I mean in a scary dystopic thing (which face it is like how we have been going for awhile) there would be a robot or something that activates on a schedule based on the current court ruling. that pretty much puts it at the judge or jury at that point.

      Bruh my vet was crying when she delivered the fatal injection to my dog. Anyone with an ounce of humanity understands what they’re doing.

      I’m conflicted. On the one hand I believe if they’re going to carry out barbaric practices that there should be a heavy conscience behind every approval and the actual execution. On the other hand, I’m sure there’s a list of bloodthirsty psychopaths chomping at the bit to kill someone in a legal frame.

      Ideally this practice would just be banned, but we are unfortunately still stuck in the stupid ages

        Banishment can be a much worse punishment than execution.

        There’s also just throwing them in a dark small room for 40 years.

        There’s plenty of things far worse than death to punish people with if your just looking to be cruel.

        Death penalty like this is just a state level pr stunt and propaganda basically. Since other methods aren’t as catchy headlines.

        yeah. good point. did not even think of that. I often wonder how people feel who work at plants making military weapons. I kinda assume the are the ultra nationalist type who believe they are protecting freedom.
