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?
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.
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.
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.
The good 'ol American tradition. Put 'em a dry sponge on the head and let them ride the lightning. Undoes every crime and makes murder victims alive again.
