Have seen executions by lethal injection. I personally don’t think you should feel pain. In the past, the detention center wanted to perform lethal injections. It had a special isolation room with two beds, and the environment was quite comfortable. my country's first lethal injection was carried out by the Kunming Intermediate People's Court on March 28, 1997. It was configured like this at the time.
Of course, today’s executive cars are widely used, very wide and comfortable, and they can even play some light music or your favorite music. It can be said that they are still very humane and full of human touch! That’s too much to say, so let’s talk about what I saw and heard at the time. It was conducted in an executive car. After the condemned prisoner was brought in by the bailiff, the execution order was read out, a picture was taken, and he was asked if he had anything else to say. He shook his head and laid him down on the executive bed, immobilizing his limbs. Then asked him if there was any music he wanted to listen to.
He ordered a song called "Absurd", but it didn't exist at the time, so he changed it to "Start Again". At this time, start applying with a cotton swab and then give the injection. The medicinal solution is similar to a turbid lime water solution and requires two injections. I could tell he was a little nervous. As soon as the alcohol-soaked swab touched his skin, his hands clenched and shook, so the bailiff told him to relax. Then, the guard next to him chatted with him and said he just took a nap. Don't be nervous.
He forced a smile and asked him to talk about the situation at home. Taking advantage of the distraction, he successfully inserted a needle and slowly pushed the medicine in. The first shot went out not long after. He said perhaps two or three sentences, and then fell asleep as soon as his eyelids fell.
Then I took the second injection. Soon, I monitored and observed blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, electroencephalogram, blood oxygen saturation, as well as traditional thinking, pupils, muscle tension, skin and mucous membrane color, and face. expression, finding him dead. At this time, photos were taken and archived, death was declared, and the body was taken to the funeral parlor. The entire process can be completed within ten minutes! The whole process can be said to be a death sentence without any pain!
And in theory it shouldn’t be very painful. According to the relevant regulations of our country, the main injection drugs we use when executing lethal injections are as follows: 1. Barbiturates; 2. Muscle relaxants; 3. Chloride (usually potassium chloride solution). The principle is also simple: barbiturates make death row prisoners unconscious. Since consciousness disappears, there is no so-called pain. You see, you usually get anesthesia before surgery and you can’t even feel the knife! Muscle relaxants can paralyze a death row inmate's muscles, causing respiratory failure. It can be said that this state of absolute relaxation leads to death. So, there should be no pain. Finally, the function of chloride is to stimulate the myocardium, causing the heart to beat rapidly, causing other drugs to quickly spread throughout the body, and causing the heartbeat and breathing to stop quickly.
Finally, I would like to express my feelings: life is precious and how lucky I am to be born! You must cherish life, love life, and do not do anything that challenges the bottom line of the law. Otherwise, we will face severe punishment from the law!
