I mean, junkies do it every day with just 1 chemical (and apparently enjoy it too), not the 2 or 3 that are used for criminals which results in complication and possible mistakes. Why not just give them a massive overdose of an opiate of some kind? I don’t understand all the problems with lethal injection.

Vlad The Impaler anyone? Days of suffering the most excruciating pain possible in the full view of the world surrounded by rotting corpses. How did that not make the list? Or what about being pulled in half by animals/weights/vehicles? Sounds pretty awful to me. I imagine being eaten alive would also be pretty horrible.

Suffering sucks, but ignoring it and not learning from it sucks even more. I had never herd of the metal bull form of punishment. hat one sounds just absolutely brutal. It's even worse than burning at the stake because you're isolated all by yourself and left to think only about the pain. Any knowledge is neat.

Now if it doesnt sever your head and gets stuck half way through youre in for a world of hurt. I think I read a story about Lethal Injection methods in the US being questioned now. Something about being consciously suffocating and not being able to scream out rather than just going to sleep then having your systems shut down. Id take guillotine over that.

To peak your interest, about you take a look at this for more of a modern view of "un-anticipated" torture.
