The defendants asked for a single large dose of barbituates to bring death. Which will supress the muscles(preventing breathing) and knock out the brain, but pain could be there. And for drug abusers, you never know what dose will kill them and what dose will just knock them out. Thats why they use the combonation, to prevent the problem of a strong tolerance to narcotics or barbituates.
This problem is why they claim the 3 drug is painful,
because if they don't use enough of the narcotic before the paralytic agent the person could be in extreme pain
when the heart is stopped, and no one know it.
I say let the person choose between lethal injection and anything else, I bet they chose lethal injection.
The three drug method is alot less likely to cause severe pain, as to any other method.The court turned back a challenge to the procedures in place in Kentucky that employ three drugs to sedate, paralyze and kill inmates. Similar methods are used by roughly three dozen states.
