If we sentence murderers to the death penalty. And in that way telling them and the society, NOBODY have the right to take lives... wouldnt that be a paradox?

No, intelligent people would realise the difference between murder and punishment

If you want to use a humane method, nothing beats lethal injection. Its a concentrated solution of potassium chloride, and a single intravenous injection will induce ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest, basically a heart attack without all the pain.

Potassium chloride is now a controlled drug, on the same lines as morphine, because if you inject someone with it, they will die and there is absoluteky no way of knowing, the post mortem will reveal nothing, and the coronaer will put it down to a cardiac arrest. No blood test will pick it up because when someone dies their cells all die and release potassium anyway :wink: just in case someone has a vendetta against anyone

The favourite used to be a massive injection of insulin, esp amongst health care professionals, but the insulin used by diabetics is detectable because its slighlty different to natural insulin.

My personal favourite is this one:

18. March 10, 1992. Oklahoma. Robyn Lee Parks. Lethal Injection. Parks had a violent reaction to the drugs used in the lethal injection. Two minutes after the drugs were dispensed, the muscles in his jaw, neck, and abdomen began to react spasmodically for approximately 45 seconds. Parks continued to gasp and violently gag until death came, some eleven minutes after the drugs were first administered. Tulsa World reporter Wayne Greene wrote that the execution looked "painful and ugly," and "scary." "It was overwhelming, stunning, disturbing -- an intrusion into a moment so personal that reporters, taught for years that intrusion is their business, had trouble looking each other in the eyes after it was over

Cool. Now it's my personal favourite too. Ogrish.com came along too late. Imagine we'd all have that video on our hard drives if they'd been around then.

Or is it available somewhere :)
