This is what I can't figure out:
People fight for doctor assisted suicide, but it's cruel to basically do the same thing to execute someone.
I know right?
Usually the same damned people as well!
I still do not understand why we don't just execute people with morphine.

No,
25 years of appeals is a joke, sir.
Putting someone to death for absolutely, without question, murdering multiple individuals..including attempted murder of the child born to the mother he murdered with a COFFEE MACHINE CHORD..is common sense.
Nature understands this, people don't,

I'd rather be quickly beheaded than slowly poisoned.
But yes the hypocrisy is strong on this one.

You do know the UN is an organisation supported by, but separate from those countries, with mostly human rights lawyers working there?
Besides you basically say the US is exactly on the same level as the countries you listed, was that intentionally?

Assisted suicide is helping terminally ill people. Death penalty is the state deciding who gets to be killed.
You see no difference? Because I see a huge one.

The point is that using the drugs to execute them is what makes it cruel.
But doctor assisted suicide is using drugs to kill someone.
It doesn't matter whether someone wants to be killed or not. If drugs are a method of death that is cruel, then they will be cruel no matter what the reason is for their use.
