I seem to recall reading various books by older vets that phenobarbital was the preferred humane euthanasia drug for animals. Too damn kind for prisoners!

(Yes, some drugs are "untried"...until they are tried...so...have a death-row inmate "volunteer" to be THE guinea pig...and then we can just "move along" from that "untried" concern..right?)

3 ounces of lead to the back of the head from a tube about 8 gauge has proven 100% successful.

They don’t want to die... but they want to die quick.

Some people are never satisfied.

Execution should be by the same manner and method the convicted felon used on his or her victims.

...it could take longer for someone to die from it than from other lethal injection drugs.

Oh please. Fry me a liver. How long did it take their victims to die? Tie them up them out in the desert on an anthill for all I care.

From what I've heard this combination is thought to be better. It may take longer, but they will be unconscious. It's two old drugs commonly used by humans in normal doses, and I believe one is what's used to euthanize animals, as someone already stated. I'm pretty sure they know exactly how it's going work. The combo they usually use works fast, but it has caused what seem to be painful deaths. Both are probably nothing compared to the fear and pain they inflicted while committing the murder/s that put them there.

WoW! That could be dangerous and may kill the animal quicker and with less pain that the poor soul he/she killed.

We certainly can’t be putting dangerous drugs into death row criminals can we? It just might KILL THEM!

I guess they don’t want to harm the convict, just kill him. /s/

200mg of morphine, plus 50mg of of any benzodiazepine (like valium, ativan, xanax) will kill most any adult human.

They will have an amazing high, followed by unconsciousness, followed rapidly by respiratory arrest.

Add say, 20mg of potassium, 5 minutes after the first cocktail and you’ll get a nearly instant cardiac arrest that the prisoner will never feel.

They should use the same method of execution that they used on Terri Schiavo.

Untied? Why does this matter?
Just hook the perp up to a I.V. gasoline drip and give him a smoke.
