Which method of execution would you choose?

[Whitespirit66]

Death by Dolly Parton for me too. Suppose that also counts as death from hypoxia.

And I'm coming back as a cat!

Not for long. We got another one.

I can well understand why no-one has yet chosen strangulation or electrocution, but why no takers for:
hanging;
shooting through the head; or
the guillotine or axe?

As far as I know, each is quick and presumably painless.
Hanging, of course, was the means of dispatching in this country until fairly recently and professional hangmen, like Pierrepoint, could have someone executed almost before they were aware of it.
The guillotine also must be as quick as any; admittedly, axemen have been known to cock it up and require several goes.
As for shooting, I'll bet that all suicides who have access to a gun of some description (not an air pistol, though) would put it into their mouth (it avoids moving and missing the target) and pull the trigger.

I have opted for the Chemical death.

For two reasons, I about 18 Months ago suffered a Heart Attack, the pain in my left arm was unbelievable!

Paramedics arrived and I was whisked off to a Specialist Hospital undertaking work for and on behalf of the NHS, I underwent a procedure to introduce a device in the blocked Artery on my Heart, so far so good, but, the Paramedics could not get any analgesic into me before my arrival in the hospital, the pain peaked when the Professor undertaking the procedure inserted at my wrist an angioplasty device, inflated it and if I thought I had pain prior to that Gees was I wrong, the Aesthetician in attendance then injected me with Morphine?

Only way of describing the effect is that I have a pain BUT I cannot feel it, more of that stuff is some way to go?

On another front in a previous existence I worked [I stress WORKED IN] a Prison, we were installing internal Sanitation.

In the wing I was working on there was a first floor Double Sized Cell? I on a preliminary walk around I had a look at it and felt very Un-Comfortable in it, it later dawned on me when looking at the plans that cell ominously numbered No 13 had been the Condemned Cell, on closed examination you could just make out the door, then plastered over to the "Drop"

I can still recall an un-easy feeling in that Cell, I am not in any way interested or follow Supernatural Stuff, I know how I felt in that Cell?

At that time the "Drop" could not be removed, it had to be "maintained in working order" and without an Act of Parliament the "Drop" could not be removed,

On the lighter side of the latter, I was outside the "Drop" looking at something else and there were a few inmates milling around, the Officer and I began how to re-vitalise the "Drop" in loud voices, because it was to be pressed into service because of imminent legislation, the volume of discussion emanating from the inmates around dropped to whispers? I cannot imagine why, we were only on a wind up?

Having been in one I am completely, and adamantly Opposed to hanging, indeed I Oppose any Death penalty, I think Permanent Solitary confinement is the answer.

And some maintain that capital punishment is NOT a deterrent. Your inmates seem to have taken it seriously anyway!

It's a deterrent when you are caught! Bit late then though?

If people about to do a crime think of consequences at all, I think they are deterred by their perceived risk of being caught, not just the severity of the sentence.

Otherwise we would have close to zero murders in places with the death penalty.

 

[big-all]

may i respectfully suggest you are fekin bonkers
with what is happening in this world with evil and natural disasters not sure why you want to die

I think it is a deterrent, there has never been a recorded case of someone who has been hanged committing another crime.

Where there is a demand there will always be a supply, if there wasn't the tolerance for people who take drugs in this country there would not be people supplying them, why are drug addicts treated like victims and given state aid and people who excuse drug taking tolerated, the claim that drugs do no harm is fallacious.

Although your quote proves my point , as the hanged person (the hangee??) still did the deed despite knowing that s/he could be hanged for it.

In the example you've given, hanging is probably more a preventative measure than a deterrent !!!

On the news today, Yacht with 3 tons of cocaine with street value of £500,000,000 seized by customs of coast of Scotland a few months ago a Yacht with 2 tons of cocaine street value £300,000,000 seized of the coast of Ireland.
The drug trade in the UK is enormous, the folks who buy these illegal drugs are the people we should be cracking down on, celebrities who glamorize and try to make drug taking trendy should be named and shamed.
Thousands of people in the 3rd world die every year because of the demand for drugs by selfish self indulgent ******s who should know better.

I sometimes think it might be better to legalise drugs. Then the government could tax them and, as a consequence, hopefully tax the rest of us a lot less.

If people are stupid enough to take drugs, let them, but don't offer any support or healthcare for the consequences.

One disadvantage to the idea, of course, is that all the junkies will need to fund their addiction and the easiest way to do that is to commit crimes.

Sigh... not the way it would work. All drugs would be supplied and administered by the state in a controlled way, with support to quit them Benefits

Puts pushers and importers out of business overnight
it is no longer a crime, crime will of course occurr from those under the influence, but no need to commit a crime to get a fix.
users are safer get a known does of a known quality
Reduced prison population
There is no evidence to suggest leaglising drugs increases usage.
It would save an enormous amount of money.


Of course the cons are the DM reader classes would be outraged, but frankly the DM should be be ciminalised.

The war on drugs was lost long ago.

What a splendid question!
+1 for hypoxia.
I have a firm plan to take the bull by the horns at some point.
You might Google exit bag. An old lady called Mary got into trouble over these things.

Takes D.I.Y to that final level.

This is a strange world....

I'd never heard of 'exit bags' before but, having googled the subject, I found that they often seem to fail.

If they do work, though, it sounds an effective and not unpleasant way to end it all.
