Drug shortage delays US executions

Drug shortage delays US executions A lethal injection chamber Sodium thiopental, which renders people unconscious, is used in lethal injections in the US
Some executions in the US are being delayed because of a nationwide shortage of sodium thiopental, one of the drugs used in lethal injections.
Several of the 35 states that use lethal injections are now hunting for fresh sources of the drug, which is used to render people unconscious.
The sole US manufacturer of the drug says new batches of sodium thiopental will not be ready before early 2011.
Meanwhile, nine states have planned 17 executions before the end of January.
Manufacturer Hospira has blamed the shortage of the drug on unspecified problems with its raw-material suppliers.
"We are working to get it back onto the market for our customers as soon as possible," Hospira spokesman Dan Rosenberg said.
Hospira has previously made clear that it is not comfortable with its products being used in the lethal injection process.
Stock expiry
Officials in California are pressing for its first execution in over four years to go ahead on Thursday evening as scheduled, because the state's last remaining batch of sodium thiopental expires on Friday.
Any other executions would have to be delayed until a new batch of the drug is received by the state next year.
Oklahoma delayed a planned execution last month because of the sodium thiopental shortage. A lack of the drug also led Kentucky's governor to put death warrants for two inmates on hold.
Sodium thiopental is primarily used as anaesthesia for surgical patients and to induce medical comas. It has also been used to euthanise animals.

execution

But for some, maybe it is the best thing.
Did not set my mind on this issue

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense."

It'd be ridiculous/hilarious if someone got proven innocent in the time that got bought between now and the new batch coming out.

Because that is probably deemed inhumane. I am sure the murder victims were not murdered in a humane way.

I don't know how I feel about this.
I know I don't want people in jail over drugs, that is stupid.
I'm big on forgiveness and understanding.
I just don't know where I stand on the death penalty at this moment. I think I need to think it over some more.

I say- Shoot the :rapist, child molesters,People who killed kids,- The rest can be rehabilitated-or should not be in jail- But the aformed mentioned should be shot with out predijuce-cant rehabailiate those people-Cost to much to house them,KILL THEM just like dogs at the pound that no one wants- I would do it for free- Oh and the gang members should be shot to just for good measure- Think of all the tax dollars we could save with no death row or super maxx they all be dead-

That's how bizzare I must be - I might kill a fucker for any number fo reasons, but the idea of someone tapping my bag to do their killing for them or trying to enlist me to don't set so good.
Can understand how a thing made for merciful purposes is turned to a State tool in which the creator's opinion no longer matters and they must provide it.
I would say "Fuck you. Kill 'em if I wanna and maybe yo ass too, if ya don't go on and leave me alone. You can't make the poison, so maybe you ain't fit to be using it? Go do ya own damn killin and make ya own shit."
But I'm a dick so....just noticed the "Company not so comfy" part and directly related.

The biggest problem with capital punishment is that innocent victims get pinned as guilty and killed. If you have really rough, but consenting sex with a chick and then she claims you raped her for whatever reason because she's batshit crazy, etc.
Murder we've got figured out pretty well. Premeditation more or less makes you deserve capitol punishment in my eyes, but people accidentally kill eachother without the intention or plan to all the time.

Because a number of lethal drugs make nasty death scenes. Pentothal just drops 'em flat out. Heroin is kinda messy because even heay OD's tend to puke.

Rape doesn't necessarily fuck peoples lives up forever, I know a couple chicks that were raped that are fine. Its fucked up, but rape is nowhere near as bad as murder. I'd rather get raped than get beaten with a baseball bat until I was unconscious.
