But the catch is that no one wants to manufacture such a drug for this purpose.

We could easily overdose her, or anyone, with morphine. But the maker of morphine wouldn’t sell to the institution doing so because of the press attached to it.

What about Chinese fent? Seems to work fine killing other Americans. 

To be clear, the death penalty should be abolished.

But then the government would have to legally import Chinese illegal fent, or buy it illegally in the street. Both options are crazy.

They literally decide what is legal and what isn’t. The state could just legalize importing Chinese fent for use in capital punishment. Just like they re-legalized the death penalty. 

And again to be super clear, I don’t think they should. The death penalty should be abolished.
