    its jokes they say its humane,

    it actually is NOT. i mean, i understand there is no other alternative really, but even capital punishment’s lethal injection is being revisited because its been said to be excruciatingly painful. basically, your insides are bursting and burning. not very humane..

    argue with me all you want, we were discussing the issue in my psychology course in university the other day.
