Actually, I believe the last guillotine execution in France was in 1946. There was a public outcry after smuggled photgraphs appeared in Life magazine, and only then was the practice stopped.

I have read that, but anatomically it is impossible as the ganglia are severed and the brain can not send messages to the muscles.

Decapitated head blinking

Does the head remain conscious after decapitation?
