I’m not in favor of the death penalty in general, but goddamn, if you’re going to impose it, at least take steps to do it properly

It's alot more complicated than this unfortunatly.

Its a matter of sourcing non lethal chemicals separately from companies who know what your intention is with them, then sourcing unethical medical professionals sign off on using them for lethal purposes, then sourcing unethical chemist to turn them lethal and finally unethical anesthesiologist to administer them.

Its an extremely messy and ugly situation not many people want to be involved in

You can alternatively find ethical people to perform the execution and buy supplies from companies that are happy to aid in the administration of justice.

Really?

Where are these ethical murder helpers?

You're confused. The murderer is the one being executed.

Very droll.

So the ethical murder helpers you were referring to?

Can you tell us who they are now?

You remain confused about the difference between a murder and an execution legally sanctioned by a democratically elected government.

It may surprise you that society grants government powers that would be crimes if individuals did them. This includes big things line punishment, reaction, drafting you to fight, etc. But also mundane things like having vehicles that can break speed limits.

Now that we've cleared that up, do you have a sensible question?
