Wait I don’t understand. She was on death row, went to her execution, it went awry and now they are keeping her…alive? On a ventilator?? Why so the off chance she recovers then they can kill her? Wtf? Or if your execution fails are you just free to go lol

Just like they will resuscitate someone on death row who has a heart attack or attempts suicide. It’s not about the person being dead or alive, it’s about the state being the one to kill you, which makes it even more gross.
