Perfect method for legal executions

I read somewhere that if someone receives the death sentence in China, they are immediately loaded into a truck, taken outside of town, and executed via firing squad. The body is then turned over to the family and they are billed for the cost of the ammunition.
 
Dynamite helmet. Only useful organs that might be wasted would be corneas, and they're not in particular shortage anyway these days.

Would only need a few ounces, and no chance of pain or suffering.

Little rough on the janitor, granted.
 
After hanging, I would suggest being tied,& wrapped in a green cow hide and allowed to rest in the sun for a day or so. Would give them time to think about what they did. :(

There was a drug film they showed us as teenagers that showed in Communist China, IIRC, if you were caught with marijuana they knelt you down and popped a round right into the back of your skull. Right on the spot.
 
It seems to me that one reason many States went to lethal injection was to make the execution "less traumatic", not only to the person being executed, but to any people viewing the procedure.

I could argue with reasons both for and against turning executions into gory spectacles again, or eliminating them altogether. But what I haven't seen are many suggestions where there is any "return" to society or the victims of whatever crime was committed that warranted the death penalty.


What I would suggest is that the one being executed be given a choice, assuming that they were otherwise healthy, to become an organ donor, and be "medically parted out" as the means of execution. This also has the advantage that recipients can be lined up in advance, and be ready to receive these organs immediately, in their optimal condition.

At the very least, this also suggests another method of execution, which is simply bleeding them to death. No more painful than inserting the needle for lethal injections, just let the flow go the other way until they pass out and die of blood loss. Use an artery rather than a vein for faster draining if need be.

No expensive equipment or chemicals, but if you do want to add blood thinners, just give them doses of aspirin in the days before.


Yes, I expect any such suggestion to cause a ruckus, but note that I specified that the one being executed be "given the option" to do this.

I wonder if these guys are making travel plans to visit Colorado?
That ammo shortage thing may prove to be a bitch!

Smoke'em if you've got'em.
