Nitrogen Hypoxia, another term to remember…
So this week’s post is about the death penalty. And no, it’s not a debate on whether or not the US should be executing inmates. It’s about the methods used to do so in the USA and the “new kid” on the block: Nitrogen Hypoxia.
Over the years, the US has used a handful of methods for capital punishments: lethal injection, electrocution, lethal gas, hanging, and firing squad. No matter whether you believe in capital punishment, it IS an interesting topic. I’m always interested in the methods used, especially the firing squad and lethal gas. Click HERE for a detailed description of all the aforementioned methods.
The current ARTICLE introduces us to the second of two executions in the State of Alabama by Nitrogen Hypoxia. I won’t say anymore about the method, as I don’t want to spoil it for you. Interestingly, I read an article about the firing squad where a capital punishment expert claimed that it was not as cruel and unusual as many people make it out to be. Hmm…
Anyway, here’s your question: After reading the two webpages, which one would you say would be the MOST HUMANE?
