I mean, if I had to choose between the chair, lethal injection, and a firing squad… I always thought they shot for the head though, so kinda surprising they go for the heart shot, though I suppose an open casket funeral is preferable. Heart would take longer for death, wouldn’t it?
Open casket funerals are kind of weird if you think about it anyway.
Firing squad would be my preferred choice, if they aim for the head. With a shotgun full of 00 buckshot. Or maybe by howitzer if that’s an option.
Although really I’d like to donate my body to science, let someone else get some good use out of it when I’m done.
You may already know this, but if not, you should be aware that there is growing concern regarding the lack of oversight surrounding cadaver donations to science.

I’m aware. There’s also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_morgue_case
But that’s the extreme. I’m not too concerned about it, after all, I won’t be using it any more.
If I could really choose a death method, I think gladiatorial combat to the death would be pretty dope. Just throw death row inmates in a arena and PPV it. Let guys in for life with no parole or 300 year sentences have a go too if they want. Not for a reduction in sentence or extra benefits or anything though, just to do it. If dudes survive, let them fight again in the next show if they want. Could even give profits to the victims families.
It’s a good thing you don’t get to choose
I think the Guillotine would be a good choice.
I had heard anecdotes of the head surviving for several seconds before death in that case. The aesthetic is top tier though.
I have a hard time believing those stories though.
If a sudden blood pressure drop is enough to make someone fall unconscious immediately with blood still flowing to the brain, then a full blood pressure drop with no blood flowing to the brain should have the same effect.
If I had to guess, eye and mouth movements are probably from the nerves going crazy after being severed at the brain stem.
Yes, but it’s more certain and not much slower.
