Talk:Dismemberment

message: "living" is not descriptive of the way it's sometimes been used in the press.  For example:
 Turkish officials allege Khashoggi was killed and then dismembered with a bone saw. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/khashoggis-sons-forgive-saudi-killers-sparing-5-execution/2020/05/22/d37a18a8-9bf0-11ea-ad79-eef7cd734641_story.html

message: "The condemned's legs and arms would each be tied to the four animals separately, and then all four animals would be commanded or whipped to run in opposite directions, thereby literally 'tearing' the condemned's body in 5 pieces (two legs, two arms and the torso)"
Sorry to be picky, but this would result in 4 pieces, not 5.  Three limbs would get ripped off, and the torso would remain attached to the final limb.

replies: text: That's what I always thought. But since I've never witnessed such an execution, nor found a source that describes this kind of execution in enough detail, it'll probably remain something of a thought experiment. Anybody have an objection to changing the wording of the text? Boneyard90 (talk) 17:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Dismemberment is still used as a capital punishment (albeit not very commonly) in at least Iran (http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1079325.html) and Saudi Arabia (http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/11/05/africa/ME-GEN-Saudi-Amputation.php) as per the Islamic sharia law. 139.179.137.70 (talk) 18:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Quartered yes, drawn no. See Hanged, drawn and quartered for two possible meanings of the word "drawn" neither of which refer to dismemberment. --Redrose64 (talk) 07:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I reverted some unsigned editor's changes of date designations from BCE and CE to BC and AD. Those edits seemed gratuitous and unnecessary, and for no purpose other than the furthering of a personal agenda. Please initiate discussion here before making such changes. rowley (talk) 20:36, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
