    The problem you’re going to have is that there simply is no good way to kill someone that does not want to die.

    It does not matter how painless it is. It doesn’t even matter if it feels good. they will resist, just as soon as they realize what’s happening.

    Something like the sarco pods rely on the willingness and desire of the people using them. (Or at least, for the intended purpose). If you tried to use them for executions, the victim would resist the moment they saw it.

    If you try it sedate them, they’ll resist the sedation. If you try to slip something in the food, they’ll stop eating, etc.

    The problem isn’t the method. The problem is it’s inhumane on its own.

      This guy openly admitted that he wished he died in the attack because it meant God had chosen him for martyrdom.

      Not sure why everyone seems to think this guy is a good guy.

        “The guy is nit a good guy!” Is not a justification to kill him.

        He is in prison. He will never be released. His ability to commit further terrorist acts are effectively eliminated.

        There is no moral, ethical, or pragmatic reason to kill him. It is unjustified, and in my belief, murder.

        There are entire tomes of reasons of why making a spectical of his murder isn’t just wrong, but fucking stupid.

        Not least because it will be celebrated by other terrorists.

        not to mention, it puts you in league with these assholes. (Trigger warning, picture of an execution)

        Nobody thinks he’s a good guy, but unless you have something wrong with you killing someone is hard, especially if they are defenseless.

          I’m of the opinion we shouldn’t, simply because we’re giving him exactly what he wants and I’m pretty sure he’s in a living hell right now. But that does beg the question - is letting someone live as a paraplegic when they want to die morally sound? Even if they want to be a martyr?
