This method involves insertion of two tubes intravenously: one is for backup while the other is used to deliver a harmless saline solution first, then, on command, a deadly mix of sodium thiopental - an anesthetic, pavulon or pancuronium bromide, which paralyzes the entire muscle system and stops the inmate 's breathing, and finally potassium chloride which stops the heart. Death will usually result from anesthetic overdose and/or respiratory and cardiac arrest. It is not common…

Even more, “Most Americans support the death penalty. They also agree that an innocent person might get put to death” (The Washington Post).

In the seventh century people could be sentenced to death for almost anything, while today capital punishment, more commonly known as the death penalty, is becoming a controversial issue in which people argue its past history, the most common…

In times of starvation, cannibalism is morally justified. In desperate times, people turn to desperate measures.
