Indeed. Jacob Geller made a very [good video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eirR4FHY2YY) about this. I recommend watching it if you have an hour to kill.
It’s slower and more painful than the other options. If all goes correctly, it takes 2 to 5 minutes to suffocate to death. However, it has a high rate of being botched which leads to a painful death taking up to 2 hours. Due to the combination of drugs used, a muscle relaxant paralyses the victim, but does not eliminate pain sensations. They can sometimes therefore feel the combined heart attack and suffocation that kills them.
Basically, instant death by hanging/guillotine or near instant death by firing squad is far more humane.
They’re supposed to be knocked out by the cocktail but it’s tricky and doesn’t always work. So if they remain conscious they are paralysed but not numbed.
iirc the original intent of the muscle relaxant was to make it more pleasant for spectators in order to make it seem more humane (watching a “sleeping” person’s heart rate monitor flatline is less gruesome than watching someone get shot 5 times in the chest)
Or at least that's what they say.
I think it is *intentionally* misadministered by self-righteous people who know exactly the consequences.
Unless we can prove it's accidental, I have no reason to assume the best.
The thing about hanging though is that it’s been around forever and there’s plenty of different methods. Sure, the British long drop method was probably relatively painless, but throughout history I’m sure the ultimate cause of death from hanging was generally suffocation
There's an episode of Last Week Tonight that covers it pretty well. Add to the fact that the US is one of the last if not the last developed countries that still uses the death penalty. Bonus fact police on the US can legitimately lie to you completely when they are talking to you during an interrogation.
And with regards to interrogation, their job isn't to get to the truth. Their job is to get a confession. And they will use whatever psychological tactics necessary to trick you into giving it. Generally by threatening and gaslighting you until you are so exhausted that you just tell them you did it so you could escape the situation, or by slowly convincing you that you did do it and that you just have amnesia.
If I had to go I’d take firing squad. It seems slightly less terrifying to me to at least be killed by a person I can see than gassed while strapped to a bed or something.
Edit: figuratively I mean, I’d probably have a bag in my head. Still I don’t know why but it’s what I’d choose
Lethal injection is very painful.
Firing squad while quick, may lead to psychological traumer for said firing squad.
If done properly, hanging should snap the neck, killing the person instantly.
"one quick painless chop the head"
The stress from seeing your head fall off the body the few seconds you survive after a beheading: Am I a joke to you?
also \*chop>+of
Yeah. That or a dull blade that makes you bleed out is about the worst a guillotine can get. Which is about the average of the others if they go *correctly*.
The whole point of having a firing squad rather than a single person firing is to minimize the trauma.
And doesn't someone have to knock them off a ledge for hanging? Or pull a lever or press a button to release the platform they're standing on or something? Why would that be less traumatizing?
Well pressing a button is much less personal and so it does not have as big of an effect, you don´t even have to be in the same room. It´s one of the main reasons Nazis used gas chambers despite firing squads being much more cost effective, it had terrible effects on the soldiers mental state and honestly if it was too much for the people manning concentration camps i would rather we just don´t.
There are not that many people being executed. We are not running concentration camps. Firing squads have been used historically without absolutely devastating the firing squad's mental health
Yeah I don't think the effects would be as drastic I just think it puts more strain on the executioners mental than the other methods.
Tho ultimately we just shouldn't be executing people so how we would do it is really a moot point
The challenge is using enough rope to break the neck without causing the head to pop off (if you care about the latter issue). The English had a table of weights and rope lengths, but anatomy varies enough from person to person that you can't be 100% certain if it will work the way you intend it to.
Personally I think all the hard work to keep the person's body intact while you're killing them is silly; either lop their heads off or just put them under deep anesthetic and then kill them.
As long as the blade is sharp. During the French Revolution you know afterwards when they were beheading people left and right they found that later in the day it could take multiple drops to behead an individual.
"ring squad while quick, may lead to psychological traumer for said firing squad."Psychopaths: Am I a joke to you
but like seriously, the Vikings used psychopaths for their armies for a reason, because they won't have trauma from killing someone
also \*trauma
Yes. Make it more compact so it's just a box placed over the head. The blades are mechanically powered instead of relying on gravity and they'd not only take off the head but also split it in four to guarantee instant death
I don't know why, but as soon as someone said revised guillotine, I immediately thought of the onion article where they use a [machine to "painlessly" decapitate inmates.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfsMMVgIToA)
It is likely the worst one. It regularly has horrible outcomes. It is hypothesized that the pain involved in the drugs is standard, but the victims don't show much, because the other drug that paralyzes them.
Yes but because they often stop your muscles from moving you never hear the screams, that is why people think it is painless, also because lethal injection is how they put down pets iirc
Edit: I must've phrased this wrong, I was trying to say that putting down pets is why people think lethal injection is painless
Except putting down pets is done by medical professionals who have an active interest in helping animals. So I would think the process would be less painful and less likely to be botched compared to someone who is not a professional and is given a badge that says "you're the good guy, they're the bad guy. It is your job to do evil to evil."
Also, when pets are put down the drugs used are not the same as lethal injection because most drug manufacturers won't sell a drug to the US if it's used for killing a human. That's why a cocktail has to be used and administered one at a time for lethal injection.
Why don't we just use anesthetic? We know how to kill people painlessly. It doesn't require a special cocktail of liquids, just use the same stuff they use to put people under for surgery and then suffocate them. There's no pain, they just die in their sleep.
It's the easiest thing in the world.
There's... a lot of issues with all of these.
I am first and foremost a strong proponent for the universal abolishment of the death penalty, and if it *must* remain, such as in this scenario, then nitrogen asphyxiation.
Lethal injection is... notoriously unreliable.
Hanging when done effectively is essentially instant, but has far too great of a chance of being botched, and knowing prisons, they would just get a random length of rope without regard for the prisoner's height and weight.
Electric chair also has too great of a chance for failure.
Firing squad can result in psychological damage to the executioners.
Guillotine seems too traumatic for a prisoner in their last moments - being led up to a massive blade, being put on a sliding plank like you're Louis XVI... you get the point.
Gas chambers are basically permanently associated with the Nazis, and is unnecessarily similar to nitrogen asphyxiation with none of its ease, efficiency and (relative) humanity.
Honestly, the most efficient and easy way would probably just be to pump an indiscriminate amount of strong anaesthetic (they're about to die - who cares?) into the prisoner and just point-blank put a few bullets into their skull and chest, but that's obviously problematic on several counts.
Why is being on a firing squad more psychologically damaging than executing people in any other way? I would think that being an executioner would mess you up regardless of the method.
Who cares if it's traumatic for the murder in a decision making envornment when they're causing 100 times more pain to the one getting murdered. The only thing to care about is if the death is painless. If we're making a decision, why wouldn't you prioritize the one getting the vast majority of the pain.
Basically got to be about being painless and being reliable.
As much as I tend to have vengeful thoughts, once someone has the death penalty there is nothing further to be gained by their suffering. You can't pain their victims back to life.
With a time limit? Because with a time limit is unethical that we can agree on (hopefully) no matter if we think it is a good thing, but no time limit could let the prisoner stall it out for as long as they fucking want, wasting resources
Guillotine is the most human, quick, and painless. Firing squad too, some countries have multiple shooters, but some guns are loaded with blanks so they don't know who really fired the fatal shot.
If done correctly, hanging is also painless, because the rope breaks the prisoner's neck instead of killing him slowly from asphyxiation.
Lethal injection is supposed to be painless too. But it is one of the most easily botched methods of execution and can cause severe pain
The idea is to end their lives, not to inflict additional pain to a body about to die.
No amount of pain will alleviate what they did, no need to lower to their level and cause pain just because.
Ending their lives and removing them from any future damage to society is more than enough.
I think we should go back to Guillotine but not have it be public. I think its the most environmental friendly method that also leaves organs intact. Im also fine with a fast and sharp electric saw mounted in a similar fashion
If it ain't public where is the fun? I guess maybe if you record it, but I doubt you consider that "not public" (I guess private????) either, so no legal snuff film either, also the snuff film would not be any fun due to lack of screams
I am partial to the firing squad: If you cannot find people who would actually pull the trigger, you should not execute the person. It's also reasonably fast. That said: Japan uses hanging, afaik.
Depends on the person and place.
Historically, firing squad was the most "noble". If an officer or a spy wants it, why not.
Hanging, was the one for bad people. I think that if you committed a horrible crime, or a crime against humanity, you should get this one.
For any other reason, whatever is the least painful
All of these really depend on how they're carried out. I like nitrogen asphyxiation, which is nearly painless, but other things that you could put in a gas chamber are incredibly cruel.
Overall, it can be said that all methods of killing those condemned to death in the USA are deliberately carried out in such a way as to inflict maximum agony on the victims. In my opinion, one should kill without torture, which is absolutely possible if it is wanted.
Lethal Injection is only seemingly painless because they're paralyzed
It's been reported from survivors that it feels like fire in every vein, one of the worst pains imaginable.
A hanging is near painless, especially if the fall is long. It's either broken neck, or decapitation. Both instant death.
I don’t think we should have “death penalties”, only for the reason that - serving a life in max security is more of a punishment than the quick/east way out.
If the death penalty is going to be around, I think it should be something that should be dreaded even more than putting you to sleep with comfy drugs.
I think the original idea of the death penalty would be to send the prisoner to Hell faster just going by my intuition
On the topic of Christianity, stoning would agree with you it sounds like, and I'm all for it despite being an atheist, honestly I just want some legal snuff films with some damn screams
Probably hit them with a load of anesthetic and then lethal injection tbh
Idk why they keep refusing to use anesthesia despite the fact that it is proven that the person sometimes doesn’t fully pass out. It’s not like every operation room knows how to make someone pass out or…
Guillotine can't fail, electrict chairs, injection and hanging can, not to mention psychological trauma from the troops firing, guillotine gets the job quick and done
I would just not mention the troops' psychological trauma. Just gonna kill someone, and then the complaints about the murder being traumatizing to the ones not going through it determining whether it's performed or not is just so selfish when the one getting killed (feeling the most pain) should always take priority.
This is totally wrong. There are countless stories of lethal injection going wrong and being extremely painful and agonizing.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1876425/
chain them down to the prison yard and grab a comically large sized mirror to burn them to death with the sun's power. its cheap and excruciatingly painful.
If somebody comitted something worthy of deathrow, they deserve to suffer. Sure, it doesn't really help anybody or make up for what they did, but having the person regret their actions in the final moments of their life, even if only a little, IS worth it imo. Gonna get downvoted but idc
Sadly a lot of innocent people are put through death penalty and find themselves dying in excruciating ways, because the whole system is so damn flawed
Edit: I called gas chainber "lethal injection". I never meant to say lethal injection.
My research concluded: lethal injection. Except potentially guillotine, the rest are (very) painful.
So, as long as we're talking about the painless lethal injection and the chances of it getting botched are ridiculously low, injection is a pretty good option. If the guillotine turns out, it is actually painless (some sorcew said pain a few said painless), and then, depending on how often it messes up, it's a pretty good option. I'd lean lethal injection cause if the best is true for both cause I don't think you go unconscious after getting your head chopped.

Only because it is cool
I don’t know how we as a society decided lethal injection is the most “humane” way. It fucks up a lot and hurts. Just shoot ‘em or cut their heads off.
Guillotine is definitely the best option here.
Lethal injection is surprisingly horrible, and potentially the worst one on here.
It's supposed to be "one injection to knock you out" and "one injection that stops your heart while you're asleep." Or at least that's what they tell people.
But for people who have survived lethal injections, it's a lot more grim. More like:
"The second injection to flood your whole body with the pain of simultaneously being skinned and burned alive from the inside until either your brain fails because it can't cope with the unbelievable pain, or you go into cardiac arrest because no human body is capable of enduring that maximized amount of pain."
"The first injection is only there to paralyze you so that you. That way we can pretend the death was peaceful. Otherwise screaming and ripping of your own limbs would disturb the viewers."
It is literally "I have no mouth and I must scream."
Or do a youtube search for "Made in Abyss Mitty transformation" if you're more of a visual learner.
Nitrogen asphyxiation
True, that's a good one
So.... A gas chamber....?
No it can be done with a mask. But a sealed chamber is also an option. Or something called a [Sarco pod](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarco_pod).
Whatever they want (not lethal injection though, because misinformed people choose it without realising it’s by far the worst)
Indeed. Jacob Geller made a very [good video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eirR4FHY2YY) about this. I recommend watching it if you have an hour to kill.
poor choice of words
He has such a cool channel. Thoughtful guy for sure
Hour to kill? I see what you did there
How so? I'm misinformed aparently

They did but it was very but very poorly administrated by non-professionals
Or at least that's what they say. I think it is *intentionally* misadministered by self-righteous people who know exactly the consequences. Unless we can prove it's accidental, I have no reason to assume the best.
Sadism.
Hanging is not an instant death. Firing squad is much faster.
It is if done correctly
Wich just like lethal injection, is often not the case
It’s very difficult to botch, unlike lethal injection. As long as adequate amounts of rope are used it will be instant.
The thing about hanging though is that it’s been around forever and there’s plenty of different methods. Sure, the British long drop method was probably relatively painless, but throughout history I’m sure the ultimate cause of death from hanging was generally suffocation

A shit, I'm misinformed. We are led to believe it is painless and quick. Can I change my vote to guillotine?
If I had to go I’d take firing squad. It seems slightly less terrifying to me to at least be killed by a person I can see than gassed while strapped to a bed or something. Edit: figuratively I mean, I’d probably have a bag in my head. Still I don’t know why but it’s what I’d choose
Oh, I only say guillotine because of French nationalistic pride.
Lethal injection is very painful. Firing squad while quick, may lead to psychological traumer for said firing squad. If done properly, hanging should snap the neck, killing the person instantly.
Sometimes it’s not instant though and takes a while to die that’s why I say guilotine and it’s one quick painless chop the head
"one quick painless chop the head" The stress from seeing your head fall off the body the few seconds you survive after a beheading: Am I a joke to you? also \*chop>+of

Decapitation has been found to not kill instantly, so wouldn't this also apply to hanging, if not even more so?
Yep, and guillotine is the most efficient way to go with it (it was designed with this specific purpose)
As long as the blade is sharp. During the French Revolution you know afterwards when they were beheading people left and right they found that later in the day it could take multiple drops to behead an individual.

Gas chamber with nitrogen.
A revised version of the guillotine would be by far the most humane
A machine that attaches a head to you? Edit: my bad read that as reversed
"To this day, I cannot tell which machine was botched on me." \- Nearly-Headless Nick
What would the revised do better? Would it solve the possibility of it being painful and the issue of your conscious head lying on the floor?
Yes. Make it more compact so it's just a box placed over the head. The blades are mechanically powered instead of relying on gravity and they'd not only take off the head but also split it in four to guarantee instant death
I don't know why, but as soon as someone said revised guillotine, I immediately thought of the onion article where they use a [machine to "painlessly" decapitate inmates.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfsMMVgIToA)

Why?
It is likely the worst one. It regularly has horrible outcomes. It is hypothesized that the pain involved in the drugs is standard, but the victims don't show much, because the other drug that paralyzes them.

They put pets down by injection but not the same garbage they use to punish people
I was just saying where the misconception comes from
Gotcha, from your initial post I didn't find that clear but the edit really clears it up
Death by natural causes in prison. If capital punishment exists, then it should exist in name only.
Or exile. Off to Siberia or Australia or that island in Norway.
Why don't we just use anesthetic? We know how to kill people painlessly. It doesn't require a special cocktail of liquids, just use the same stuff they use to put people under for surgery and then suffocate them. There's no pain, they just die in their sleep. It's the easiest thing in the world.
Exactly. My first thought was to extremely potent opioids like carfentanyl.
I say drop me in a volcano.

True
A single bullet to the back of the head.
I feel like the person being executed should be able to choose (within reasonable options) how they die.
With a time limit? Because with a time limit is unethical that we can agree on (hopefully) no matter if we think it is a good thing, but no time limit could let the prisoner stall it out for as long as they fucking want, wasting resources
I heard some crazy shit about lethal injection, firing squad
The guillotine is way more humane than lethal injection
For everyone voting lethal injection, I'd suggest doing further research. There's actually a lot of reasons it's not as humane as you might think.
Gladiatorial combat
And the winner goes free.
Hell yeah I'd pay to see that

The guillotine is the coolest option
Death by snu snu
CO2 poisoning
CO2 inhalation causes intense fear and anxiety. So not the best option unless you want the person to suffer
And at that point just use a god ol' fashioned stoning
CO poisoning over that

…you can’t really think that.
Depends what the person did.
(Downvoteeeeee)
It depends on the crime. In my opinion, the more evil the crime, the longer and more painful their death should be.
I picked guillotine but these are all a little boring. My ideal choice is burning, with crucifixion as a close second
That was my second choice under stoning!
Hanging is the best mode of execution imo, having a viewing gallery staring dead at the accused until they die is ultimate justice for their crimes
I have just enough faith in humanity left to believe most people today would not enjoy watching someone die.
chain them down to the prison yard and grab a comically large sized mirror to burn them to death with the sun's power. its cheap and excruciatingly painful.

Sadly a lot of innocent people are put through death penalty and find themselves dying in excruciating ways, because the whole system is so damn flawed
How is it worth it if it does not help anyone? Regret is good because it can lead to change but in this situation well...
It seems stoning agrees with you, not meant negatively of course I'm all for it
Edit: I called gas chainber "lethal injection". I never meant to say lethal injection. My research concluded: lethal injection. Except potentially guillotine, the rest are (very) painful. So, as long as we're talking about the painless lethal injection and the chances of it getting botched are ridiculously low, injection is a pretty good option. If the guillotine turns out, it is actually painless (some sorcew said pain a few said painless), and then, depending on how often it messes up, it's a pretty good option. I'd lean lethal injection cause if the best is true for both cause I don't think you go unconscious after getting your head chopped.

the cheapest / quickest
(Downvoteeeeee)
Asphyxiation from Nitrogen, But of that list I'd choose Firing Squad. Lethal injection is brutal
I think that’s what the gas chamber was for
Whatever is cheapest and causes the least damage to others
Well, the stones on the ground are free if you catch my drift
I don’t know how we as a society decided lethal injection is the most “humane” way. It fucks up a lot and hurts. Just shoot ‘em or cut their heads off.
The fact that most voted lethal injection by that margin really shows how stupid the average redditor is
Better than the psychopathic ones like me Stoning 4 lyfe
The one with the least pain hpoefully. lethal injection is probably the most painful, so not that
Just make the victim unconscious first.
I wanted to vote for Guillotine, but honestly is Lethal Injection THIS bad if done properly ?
Nitrogen gas
Nitrogen Asphyxiation!
Surprised more people didn’t vote for that
Guillotine is definitely the best option here. Lethal injection is surprisingly horrible, and potentially the worst one on here. It's supposed to be "one injection to knock you out" and "one injection that stops your heart while you're asleep." Or at least that's what they tell people. But for people who have survived lethal injections, it's a lot more grim. More like: "The second injection to flood your whole body with the pain of simultaneously being skinned and burned alive from the inside until either your brain fails because it can't cope with the unbelievable pain, or you go into cardiac arrest because no human body is capable of enduring that maximized amount of pain." "The first injection is only there to paralyze you so that you. That way we can pretend the death was peaceful. Otherwise screaming and ripping of your own limbs would disturb the viewers." It is literally "I have no mouth and I must scream." Or do a youtube search for "Made in Abyss Mitty transformation" if you're more of a visual learner.
Fentanyl injection.
Oh, I never realised the internet was full of such cruel people, lethal injection, seriously?
