The ethics of a death penalty aside, we already know how to do painless executions. We have known for decades: nitrogen chambers. It's absolutely insane that we continue to use anything else. Not a single US state uses nitrogen chambers.The recent history of capital punishment in the United States evidences the search for methods of execution that allow the U.S. to continue to execute but to do so in a way that would never be grisly.
