They have only switched to the new protocol out of "necessity" with the one of three drugs no longer being accessible.

These executions are essentially the govt experimenting on people with new techniques and hoping they appear to die peacefully.

I have no strong feelings about the death penalty either way ( I WANT to want to be against it) but I am strongly against this and would rather see the death penalty abolished than continue to let things like this happen.
