If we are going to allow the state to execute folks, then why all this complicatedness? Why not just provide sufficient amounts of heroin for the condemned to overdose? It seems like heroin is sufficiently deadly, and, based on what I’ve heard, and the large number of users worldwide, is fairly painless.
Based on “The Wire,” it seems like about $100 worth could end the life of anyone on death row. And we could buy it in bulk from our Afghani friends, saving the taxpayers even more.
