      I dunno, leaving aside that "humane execution" is oxymoronic (the worst thing about dying in most people's opinion isn't the pain it's the death) it is basically a solved problem Fastest way to kill someone is a bullet in the head, specifically through the medulla oblongata

      It's the brain's "CPU", everything else is software loaded into memory No medulla = everything else stops almost instantly No higher brain function, no heartbeat, no breathing

      You wouldn't even need an actual bullet, you could save money on bullets by using a captive-bolt pistol like they use for livestock That's why the guy uses one in No Country for Old Men, this grim thing where he executes helpless people quickly and with no remorse

      People do fuck this up in slaughterhouses all the time but that's because they have to kill a ridiculous number of cattle in one day To execute the occasional human this way would be much easier, you could even drug them first

      There's a lot of perversity involved in why we don't actually do it this way, a lot of it tied up in us not being clear on why we execute people and what the concept of "humane" execution means

      Like one of the ridiculous things about people fighting back and forth over the current lethal injection protocol is they want what sounds like a foolproof means of inducing quick death *without* the use of any "fun" drugs

      You want someone to drift off to sleep blissfully and never wake up, we have a pretty good idea of how to do that, you give them an OD of an opioid No one can actually know how dying feels, especially dying slowly from a drug, but we can make a good guess

      Opioids' whole psychotropic function is to make you feel okay with whatever is happening Whatever someone feels when they're dying from a morphine OD, they're probably okay with it, that's morphine's job That's why people get addicted and die of opioids in the first place

      ...Which is why those drugs are controversial and tainted and legally controlled substances Which is why getting them approved for a "humane" execution protocol would be this huge bureaucratic nightmare, so they don't do it Instead we got the ridiculous three-drug protocol

      One sedative (sodium thiopental) to knock you out, one paralytic (pancuronium bromide) to keep you from struggling, one poison (a massive overdose of potassium chloride) to stop your heart Pharmaceutically this is a Rube Goldberg machine

      Like it's because they only use sedatives that are used to induce medical coma, not maintain it, because none of those drugs are "fun" For that reason they also don't work that well The real reason for the paralytic is so no one will know whether it worked

          The paralytic is itself enough to kill you but it's an agonizing death, suffocating slowly while your lungs refuse to breathe It's there to hide it from the audience if the other two drugs don't work, and you're neither actually knocked out nor does your heart instantly stop
