Re: Saudis defend Sri Lankan maid’s execution, hit back at criticism
Well with the lethal injection, they also give an anesthetic as well. The person being executed in theory shouldnt feel any pain.
Sodium thiopental is generally used. Last year there was a shortage of the anesthetic, and a number of states ended up postponing execution till the issue was resolved.
The situation in the US is not ideal, but its not completely inhumane.
