Guillotine. A State Senator in Florida tried to have that brought back in the past 2 years or so as it was more humane and allows for organs to be harvested. Didn't happen, as we all know.
I guess they can crucify people. Die like Christ.
A firing squad of a few hundred people would lead to no body being left. Which, I guess would be quite humane. Quick, thats for sure.
As for intent to miss, well, human error happens all the time in everything. Who would have thought you could screw up putting a needle into someone? But it happens.

Ya know, I wasn't going to answer this, as the question alone shows a very shallow and simplistic way of thinking. The answer is, in reality, very simple. Christs Birthday is CELEBRATED by Christians on Dec 25. It matters not exactly WHEN he was born. What's important is remembering and celebrating that birth. Of course, those with little to no actual brains will question the date picked to celebrate as if it should be a deal breaker of some kind.
Congratulations machjo on staying in the pigeon hole that I had placed you.
Er, so even those who do not profess the Christian Faith MUST celebrate Christmas? Do you celebrate 'Id-al-Fitr, Kwanza, Diwali, passover, etc.?
There are more people on this earth than just Christians, however much Coulter wishes otherwise.
And besides, why visit a thread relating to lethal injection technology seeing that it relates to the "k"-word.
Not to berate a small point but unless the EU is physically preventing any shipments from reaching the US, they would not be blocking import. What they have control over is who they export to, they've chosen not to export certain materials to the US. They are within their right to do so. Blocking import, to my way of thinking, would be if they were preventing say Australia for example from sending those same materials to the US. That would be a more agressive move I'd say.
Maybe it's just semantics, and I'm aware it states it both ways in the article.
I don't believe in the death penalty, so I say good for the EU. But the US is allowed to enact whatever laws it feels are just within their borders, whether I agree with them or not. Lot's of countries still use the death penalty.
Out of choice, not compulsion.
Actually, you're right. Thanks for correcting me.
Lol, you're welcome, but correcting you wasn't the reason I made the post. Well, I was pointing it out, but it wasn't meant to be a criticism or anything like that.
Personally I just find it frustrating that a simple turn of phrase, like the one in the title of the thread, can be the catalyst for the spread of misinformation. Not that I'm trying to exaggerate things in this circumstance, but on a general level I find it frustrating. The piece in the OP is an op/ed piece, written by an American doctor, an anesthesiologist, who is morally against the death penalty. I have no problem with that, he's certainly entitled to his opinion. In point of fact, I happen to agree with it.
But the EU blocking export to the US on these grounds is significant enough of a statement on it's own. There is no need to twist it or embellish it further by making a statement that they are blocking import, which carries far different implications. I'm sure there are many that would look at it and dismiss it as semantics, but I don't think that's the case.
Are you sure about that? My nephew is the only white kid in his class at a Catholic school.
Wouldn't really surprise me if they are off by a year or two as well. Even in the 17 & 1800's I found inconsistencies in the birth dates of my ancestors. Some of them seem to have been registered by their baptism date which could be over a year late. NBD.
It's not just the EU who is making it hard to lethally inject someone with a cocktail of compounds. The Danish drug manufacturer Lundbeck announced this summer that they would no longer distribute Nembutol to American prisons in States that have a death penalty. No other pharmaceutical has a registered product in the US containing the pentobarbitol sodium injection used in the lethal cocktails. Hospitals will still have access to the drug for therapeutic uses.
Nah christ is false, nothing but mythology. not that it matters today, christmas nowadays celebrates the mass consumption machine known as capitalism.
The EU cannot block importation to the US, only the US can do that. They are blocking exportation to the US.
They are NOT blocking importation anywhere. In order to do that, they would have to set up a blockade, and stop every plane, ship, etc., that goes to the USA.
They are blocking EXPORT of those chemicals to the USA.
Please, look at a dictionary!

Forcing? If loving your kids and taking on traditions of your new home to fit in is forced then we've got far bigger problems in this country than we are arware of.
An expediting company can refuse to forward the product. Noooo problem.
You're the one who asked if it was forced. Since I did not know the family in question and obviously you do, and since you yourself was questioning my belief that it was probably not forced, I decided to play it safe and say that maybe it was forced seeing that you know the family and I don't and you were questioning my assertion that it was likely not forced. Now you're questioning my comment that maybe you were right. Well, which is it?
