If you were getting the death penalty which method of would you choose?

Poll question: If you were getting the death penalty which method of would you choose?

I personally would choose the firing squad as it is the quickest and less painful of them all. As long as the shooters were good shots of course. No Barney Fifes please.

1. Britney Spears 7x24

I'd kill myself and save them all the appeals

[KingOfLostSouls]

2. DEATH BY STEREO!!!

or to be humped to death by the female cast of "Girls Gone Wild"

[rzemanfl]

3. Anything but dying of old age in a right-wing theocracy, which

is what it seems I am facing now.

4. Lethal injection is not to make the person dying feel any better

It is only to make the people who are doing the killing feel better. The people who would know these things say the person who dies from lethal injection while unable to move or say anything is fully aware of what is happening to them. And the poisons being injected into their veins feels very similar to lit gasoline being injected into their body.

>>>Not everyone is of the opinion that death by lethal injection is painless - Dr. Edward Brunner, chairman of the Department of Anaesthesia at North-western University Medical School, submitted an affidavit on behalf of death row inmates in Illinois in which he states that lethal injection "create{s} the substantial risk that prisoners will suffocate or suffer excruciating pain during the three chemical injections but will be prevented by the paralytic agent from communicating their distress." It is notable also that Albert Pierrepoint, who was one of Britain's most prolific hangmen and who witnessed an early lethal injection execution considered that the process was "sadistic" mainly due to the length of time it took to render the prisoner unconscious.<<<

6. As for the gas chamber imagine trying to hold your breath as long...

...as you can which everyone does. It is a normal human reaction.

>>>A study of the execution records of 113 prisoners executed at San Quentin showed that the average time taken to kill them was 9.3 minutes. The prisoner will usually loose consciousness between one and three minutes after the gas hits their face and the doctor will pronounce them dead in around ten to twelve minutes.<<<

This would strike me as about the worse choice of all.

7. Firing squad

One right in the head and one right in the heart at the same time.

[NNN0LHI]

12. With that method the person wouldn't even hear the report from the rifles

Just see the muzzle flash and that would be that. About as quick and painless as its going to get.

8. No None of the above?

I think whoever is sentenced to death should be allowed to choose the manner.

Thrown from an airplane, shot into space, etc.

There is a substantial penalty for early withdrawl or account foreclosure.
