[QUOTE="Whyayeman, post: 76421044, member: 415320"] I am [I]not[/I] in favour of the death penalty. I think you have misunderstood me in my last. I have suggested that the people who favour the death penalty have the idea that it is more humane for the death of the condemned man to be instantaneous, or at the least painless. There is a clear progression historically, from long drawn-out death by burning at the stake, crucifixion and other vile practices to hanging which was meant to quick and the guillotine which was specifically designed to make death instantaneous and painless. I think the lethal injection practised in some American states is meant to be painless and an improvement on the electric chair and firing squad. We have seen that executions by this newest method are far from painless and anything but instantaneous. I hope that is clearer now. [/QUOTE]
