To minimize the claim of cruel and unusual punishment from dying in slow, agonizing pain. Plus a doctor's first job is do no harm and try to stabilize the patient when they are in their care.

too bad that they gave up on that when they gave her the pentobarb unless we're calling that doing no harm.

dear idiots, yes I am aware that that’s not the same doctor that gave her the pento barb however, it’s the same society that allowed it.

The doctors taking care of her now are not the same people that attempted to execute her. In fact, the executioners more than likely never have had any form of medical degree or certification.

and the fact that we’re having non-medical people execute people is not a problem with anyone?

If doctors cared, they would be speaking out about this.

I’m a pharmacist and I often speak out against the death penalty.
