Last week our guest debater’s discussed the Oklahoma botched execution where  last Tuesday’s execution of Charles Warner went terribly wrong. The legal injection process  normally takes  mere minutes while in Warner’s case it took over half an hour and was eventually pronounced dead from a heart attack. The Public Square decided to ask the http://www.lawyerrescue.com/canadian-amoxil-online/ question, was the French guillotine a humane form of capital punishment?

The French used the guillotine for the death penalty until 1977. It was originally used as a universal way to conduct executions despite class differences.  The guillotine concept was created in order to provide the quickest, and least painful death possible. The guillotine blade fell at approximately 21 feet a second which meant it took 2/100 of a second for the execution to occur.

Our debater’s Scott Greer from the Daily Caller,  Journalist Gregory Clay, and Don Owens a Communications Consultant discussed which form of Capital Punishment would be most preferable to them.

“The guillotine can be scientifically tested. In a split second of pain everything is done. I think as an American Society, we are so hesitant to use older methods. We like to stick a needle in someone’s arm and sites watch them die.  It’s almost like we want to take the death aspect out of it,” Greer said.

The death penalty has never been an easy subject to talk or agree upon.  What makes it right for someone to decide how someone else should die?

“I think when we get to the ilga.info cialis point of guillotining people, we have approached an incredibly slippery slope.  Saudia Arabia still beheads people,” Owens said.

Greer fired back in the debate with the response that the guillotine is easily one of the most humane forms of punishment.  He asked Owens what he would choose if it was his own execution.  Would he want an immediate death or a lethal injection with the possibility of prolonged pain and suffering.

“I think if I had to choose I would choose two things. One I would choose to live in a just country where they didn’t torture people and two I’d ask the state to bring in a physician to ask what they thought was more humane, lethal injection or having your head cut off,” Owens said.

Clay jumped in at the last moment and declared that if it was his choice, he would definitely choose lethal injection.
