    It’s more humane than lethal injection, the only other way we do it, which I think is the argument here

      There is no way that it should be done and as a separate unrelated argument there is no was to do it that does not run afoul of The United States Constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

      It should not be done because it should not be done and there also does not exist a “proper” way it could ever be done.

      State executions are an affront to decency and besmirch the dignity of humanity. They are also inherently cruel.

      No power which executes the captive holds moral authority to hold people captive.
