“Lethal injection is the practice of injecting a person with a fatal dose of drugs, typically a barbiturate, paralytic, and potassium solution for the express purpose of causing the immediate death of the subject.” (Lethal Injection Law) The main reason that this is used is for capital punishment. It first puts the individual to sleep, followed by stopping the breathing and also the heart. The Supreme Court is confused if the sedation is constitutional and is it cruel and usual punishment.
“Lethal injection can cause excruciating pain. Since the first lethal injection on December 7, 1982, over 1,000 prisoners in the USA have been executed by this method and it has all but replaced other methods of execution.” (Amnesty International USA) Specialists
