Death penalty question, whether you are for or against it: Why not switch from lethal injection to the guillotine?

Asked by GoldieAV16 (5403points) December 13th, 2013

The drugs used in lethal injections are becoming very difficult to obtain in the US, and as a result states are more and more turning to “experimental” and illicitly obtained drugs. To add to this, there have been problems with the previously used three-drug cocktail when it was not injected properly, causing inmates to suffer prolonged and horrific deaths, or sometimes not die at all – just suffer.

On the other hand, the guillotine is quick, painless and 100% effective. Isn’t that everything an execution should be?
