I've been researching various means of capital punishment and I had no idea the French used it all the way up until 1977.
Or that the Nazis used it on 16,000 people.
It is probably the cheapest, most effective and most humane method. Other than that moment of terror just before they are laid out. And with heavy sedation, that would not be an issue.
I'm opposed to the death penalty.
The government doesn't deserve that much power.
