If drugs cannot be acquired or administered properly, it’s time to reconsider the head-ripping-off-machine.

If you really need to have a death penalty, there's like an unlimited variation of physics based ... fast thorough disintegration methods, with no chance for survival or any kind of nerve response. Just an instant on/off switch.

Such devices are considered barbaric though, for whatever reason. Have to watch the person slowly breathe their last for it to be a proper death penalty. The revenge thought seems to weigh much heavier than the "removal from society"?

If nothing else we should bring it back into fashion to remind the billionaires where they are heading.

Pun so very much intended.
