I don’t see why they do any method other than a bullet or the lance gun thing they use to kill cows/sheep/etc by launching a spike into the brain. Surely that’s the quickest and painless method right?
Yeah, if we really wanted an instant-death mechanism with zero chance of any pain then we’d probably pack the victim in dynamite and vaporize them faster than nerve signals can travel.
Unfortunately people who are pro-death-penalty are often weirdly squeamish about stuff like that.
Sure, if you shoot someone in the head from 20ft or accidentally drive a rod in someone’s brain that might occasionally be a survivable event. But if you aim from closeby, with the intent of ending someones life? Chances of survival are slim to none. (With a mercy shot being an option if that’s the case)
I’m vehemently against the death penalty, but there are about a thousand ways to do it ‘better’ than the US is doing right now (it just wouldn’t be as neat/clean, which apparently is more important to the people in charge)
Quickest and least painful is probably the guillotine. Immediate drop in blood pressure to the brain might give you a few seconds of consciousness after it happens, but you’d be in too much shock to feel any pain. You wouldn’t be slowly choking to death like this fellow.

People have been known to survive bullets to the brain. I’m unsure of how big the lance is, but it may be survivable as well. There’s the famous story of Phineas Gage surviving having a large iron rod accidentally driven through his skull, for example.

You’ve clearly thought about this. I didn’t need that visual in my head, but here we are.
Wish it wasn’t a subject that I’d have to think about but it does come up way more than it should.
On the plus side, use enough dynamite and there’d be nothing left to be squeamish about. Not even bits of teeth.

Have you seen the way animals are slaughtered?

I’m going to follow this advice
Quickest route to becoming vegan is discovering the cruelty done in your name.
yea I’ve done this before but couldn’t handle it, too intense for me
