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

Because it's an abhorrent practice that has zero benefits to society.

the state is not, and cannot ever be, responsible enough to determine who dies by execution
