The topic I chose to do research on for the brochure and the position paper was the controversial issue of lethal injections; if it goes against the Constitution or not. The most interesting thing I have learned throughout my research is that one of the drugs used in the lethal injection, sodium thiopental, is commonly used for general surgery. It puts the prisoner into a medically induced coma. The two other drugs used are pancuronium bromide and potassium bromide.

My opinion is very rare, most people just go against lethal injections. So I knew coming into writing about this issue, I would have to research my topic and find supportive facts that helps reinforce my perspective. So that’s why I found it important to format my paper in that way as I have explained above. I have facts that support my opinion and will educate other people who had a different perspective on the use of lethal injections so hopefully more people will be a supporter of lethal
