I believe that electrocution is the most humane way of execution. For one, it takes only 30 seconds for the inmante to die. A lot faster than some of the other methods, also, it makes sure that the prisoner stays dead, by repeating the process if the inmante is still breathing until death.
i belive in none of the exicutions because i am againt exicutions . i would not chose the das chamber because in the article it says "heart is being deprived of oxygen." an that sounds very painful . aslo the fiering squad says "each of the shooters aims his rifle through a slot in the canvas and fiers at the inmate." i disapreove with all of this .

I think two things,I think that the most humane way of execution is lethal injection. but I also think that execution it wrong at a certein degree. like someone who killed a whole bunch of men/women they should be executed. but if someone has a speeding ticket and forgets/ doesn't go to court they shouldnt get executed.
If I had to choose one way of execution that would not only be the fastest, but the most peaceful I would chose the firing squad. “The Dr. locates your heart and puts a target over it” and “the squad stands 20 feet away with 5 people, all with .30 caliber rifles, one of witch contains a blank.” The reasoning for the blank is so no one knows if they fired the lethal shot. I believe that if you committed a crime in which the death penalty is called for, should be given a penalty which instills fear in the mind of the person being executed.

I believe that the electrocution is the most humane way to do an execution because prisoners who took more than 2 lives and had a sentence for it and continue to kill people should go to the electrocal chair. "An additional electrode is moistened with conductive jelly (Electro-Cream) and attached to a portion of the prisoner's leg that has been shaved to reduce resistane to electricity." (HAndout 2) I think that the prisoners should suffer the same way there victims and victims family has suffer."A jolt of between 500 and 2000 volts, which lasts for about 30 seconds, is given." (Handout 2) To me they deserve as much pain as their victims family has gone through or is still going through because it is there fault why this happen to them.
I believe the most humane way to do an execution is the "Firing Squad." For execution by this method, the inmate is typically bound to a chair with leather straps across his wrist and head, in front of an oval-shaped canvas wall. "The chair is surrounded by sandbags to absorb the inmate's blood." This is important becuase once the black hood is pulled over the inmate's head, they are ready to get shot. The sandbags absorbs the blood which eventually is enough to kill the inmate. "The firing squad also includes a doctor locating the inmate's heart with ta stethoscope and pins a ciculaar white clother target over it." This quote is important becuase there are five shooters who stand 20 feet away and shoot the targets. I believe this is the most huamne way becuase the inmate has to watch himself die, eyes full open!
I honestly think there is no humane way to execute anyone. All the executions are pretty much equal. For example Handout 2 explained that the Firing Squad "Stands 20 feet away, five shooters are armed with .30 caliber rifles loaded with single rounds-each shooter aims his rifle through a slot and fires at the inmate" And for the execution "the person is usualy shaved and strapped to a chair and the electrocuted".

i believe that electrocution although its not that humane, is a better way to execute people. Although the voltage is 500 to 2000 volts that can kill people in a hurry, it only takes about 30 seconds for them die. The bad part about it is that if the inmate is still alive, they do it over and over until the person is dead. Its not humane at all, but i belive that its the quickest way to die.
I believe there is NO humane way to execute someone. Every method is brutal one way or another. For example, when someone is electrocuted witnesses have said "the prisoner's eyeballs sometime pop out and rest on his cheek." To me, that seems very exaggerated. Also, when someone is put into a gas chamber victims have been knows to show evidence of extreme horror, pain, and strangling." If this is so humane; then why does one watch this very act as the prisoner turns a very dark shade of purple. Lastly a firing squad is still a legal way to be killed. In all, i believe that executions are hypocritical and unneeded. We should just come up with a simpler decision rather than murder.
I THINK THE LETHAL INJECTION IS THE MOST HUMANE WAY TO DO AN EXECUTION. THE LETHAL INJECTION IS TWO NEEDLES (ONE IS A BACK UP) ARE THEN INSERTED INTO USABLE VEINS,USUALLY IN THE INMATES ARMS. LONG TUBES CONNECT THE NEEDLE THROUGH A HOLE IN A CEMENT BLOCK WALL TO SEVERAL INTRAVENOUS DRIPS. I THINK THATS THE BEST WAY TO EXCUTE A INMATE.

I don't belive any of the ways are humane. Executions such as electrution and gas chambers cause major pain and can last minutes. even though some electricutions take 30 seconds it is not always that way. A prisoner can be electricuted more than 3 times. Gas chambers can last minutes and you can be in pain for about two-thirds of the time. Hanging and lethal can also cause pain if the procedure is done incorrectly. One mistake can mess up the entire process. This can cause serious pain for minutes and the prisoner will eventually die. These executions are not humane because they can go wrong and can cause serious pain for several minutes.
- I Believe The Most Humane Way To Do An Execution Is Lethal Injection I Say This Because I Would Prefer To Die In My Sleep Then When I Am Awake. In The Article It Says " The Inmate Is Injected With Sodium Thiopental - An Anesthetic, Which Puts The Inmate To Sleep". And It Is Much Easier When You Were Injected When You Have Good Veins Instead Of Havinq Types Of Druqs That Would Make It More Difficult To Find A Good Vein. " If The Member Of The Execution Team Injects The Drug Into Muscle Instead Of A Vein, ..." The Article Says.

I believe the most humane way to do an execution is through lethal injection. This execution is not very painful and allows the inmate to die in a sort of pieceful manner. In Handout 2, "the inmate is injected with sodium thiopental- an anesthetic, which puts the inmate to sleep." This allows the inmate to be comfortable and in a peaceful state of mind. Next, while asleep they kill through a needle." Death results from anesthetic overdose and respiratory and cardic arrest while the condemned person is unconscious." This kills the inmate without alot of external damage done to the body making him look untouched.
I Dont believe that any of these death methods are hummane because either way you are stilll dieing and you still suffering from each one of them . since teh other ones are barberic for example the execution chair iis the worse because you are strapped down and feel the pain.
the most humane way to die is the lethal injection because, 35 of 36 states have the death penalty use this method. also they only use 1-2 needles of harsh chemicals. also the needle will paralyze the entire muscle system and heart. and you die when your unconscious.
if i had to execute somebody then i would hang them.it wont cost as much as an electric chair. also there is no posibale way someone can servive this meathod. this is why i belive hanging people is the most humane way execute someone
