I know this sounds incredibly nieve of me - if we have gone so far in Capital Punishment
from stoning, etc, firing squad, to lethal injection, why are we strapping them to the gurney
if they are showing compliance? The majority of condemned prisoners want a quiet, "dignified"
exit and are compliant; is it so necessary to strap them down for their final few minutes,
if they are compliant?
This is not to feel sorry for them and give a slap to the victims, but isn't this, too, taking things
a bit too far?
