This is an awesome article about lethal injection. It brings out stuff that I never really thought about. Here is just one answer from a question that was asked that just astounded me.
Q So who administers the drugs?
A They turn to people who are untrained and who have no business using these drugs. Thiopental is a controlled substance. To use it you need a special license, which the executioner doesn't have and the warden doesn't have. So they are in violation of federal and state regulations when they use these things. More than that, the drugs have been tested for safety in therapeutic uses. They have never been tested for use in killing people. What they are really doing is experimenting on humans, much like the German doctors did in concentration camps. What they are doing is inhumane. The subjects end up with a strong possibility of being subjected to excruciating suffering.
The rest of the article is just as interesting and eye opening
