    The companies that make the drugs used to perform lethal injection have refused to participate in the death penalty any longer which is why other forms are being explored.

      The drug companies didn’t exactly decide to step away from the death penalty fully on their own initiative. They were threatened with criminal prosecutions in Europe for abetting executions in the United States.

      I fully support drug companies not wanting their medications to be used to kill people. On the other hand, we give our dogs and cats painless deaths with their drugs and, if we’re going to be killing people, they deserve the same dignity.

        I agree…. If it’s their choice. Not as punishment
