#6  Execution should as closely follow the manner in which the criminal killed their victim, in terms of duration to die and pain suffered.

Or it should be quick and a surprise.

The first is vengeance and as an example. The second is just cleaning up the trash.

#4  Worried about the convicted death sentence criminal and "horror"? Just load em up with the drugs the give during colonoscopy. x4n4x, f3nt4nyl and pr0p0f0l will do the trick nicely. Just prop em up in the chair and aim true.

#3  Madam Guillotine. Quick, swift. No FDA issues about drugs or toxins. With modern blade technology it'll slice and dice. It's green.

#2  Heart?
I thought they aimed for the head...

I'd prefer a headshot.

#1  Critics say the firing squad is a gruesome relic of Utah's Wild West past and would bring international condemnation upon the state.

Being shot through the heart is a hell of a lot cleaner and quicker than a fucked up application of those drugs they use.
