Onion or not Onion?

Three
Death Row inmates say the three-drug cocktail used in lethal injections have
not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for executions and want a
federal judge to issue an injunction to stop the state from using the drugs
until it complies with federal drug laws.

According to sources at the Allstate Insurance Company, CIA
Director Michael Hayden purchased nuclear-attack insurance Wednesday, paying a
$100,000 monthly premium for his homes in suburban Washington, Pittsburgh, and
near Cheyenne Mountain, CO.

Thanks to Monique van Hoek and Daniel Rothschild for pointers.

The first article would be absurd if the practice and the method of capital punishment weren’t so absurd already. The callousness is shocking.

Oh Jeez, I need to be more careful what/when I read. Typo should be more like “Onion could have made it more believable”.

I propose that the a condemned inmate be allowed to choose the manner of his death subject to the following rules:

1: It must be possible in reasonable time

2: It can’t cost more than [say] $25,000

3: It can’t be dangerous to people other than the inmate

4: It must not be illegal or violate a treaty [the condemned inmate cannot ask to be buried with a nuclear weapon, for example].

I for one think that a nitrogen room would be a very humane method of legal execution. See “1981 March 19: anoxia:” in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_disaster . The technicians who survived report that they just went to sleep — they did not suffer in any way.

All the methods following hanging have been worse. A proper hanging(no short drops) literally “only hurts for a second.” A proper hanging(which isn’t that hard to ensure)severes the spinal cord and causes immediate death.
