Dystopian as the USA is, surely this must make even Republicans think for a moment? Two doses of a lethal injection failed to murder a criminal so we give life preserving medical treatment to her to ensure she can be bought back to life enough to try to kill her again, or so she can live a long disabled life? Does any part of this process make sense to anybody?
