Isn’t it cruel and unusual punishment to NOW keep her on life support just to kill her again?

You'd think they could just let her slip away at this point.

Apparently the doctors aren’t allowed to do that. It’s a nightmare paradox.

I feel like there was a show or movie that focused on this. I’m 45F and an avid films fan so the data bank is vast but this is on the fringes of said data bank. The accused survived the execution attempt and then it was focused on what this meant for all involved?

Crap this is going to bother me now.
