message: So...why don't they just give them megadoses of these things?  Shoot them 10 syringes of Sodium Thiopental and the other drugs that they use?  Surely that would answer any questions about whether or not the prisoner was aware?
: They do give a very large dose of each drug. The main point of contention seems to be the use of a very short acting barbiturate (thiopental) rather than a longer acting drug (like pentobarbital) and then the use of a paralytic immediately afterward, which would hide the fact that the prisoner is still conscious if the initial barbiturate was not effective. --Bk0 00:16, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inflammatory? 

message: The article cites an article in the Lancet, but by misreading or misrepresenting the figures - deliberately or accidentially to the same effect - it dramatically overstates the Lancet findings. The Wikipedia article states:
: University of Miami researchers reported in the medical journal The Lancet that they believed in 43 out of the 49 executions they investigated, the level of thiopental in the blood was lower than that required for surgery.
The person who edited this in relied on a link to a BBC story about the article, rather than reading the article itself. As a result, an error (or misrepresentation) in the BBC story has now polluted Wikipedia. The number given is utterly wrong, as one can discover by no more involved a task than reading the U-Miami/Lancet study. While the numbers 43 and 49 do indeed appear in the study, one appears as an integer, and the other appears as a percentage. The study did not find that of 49 executed inmates, 43 of those inmates had concentrations consistent with awareness, it found that of "49 executed inmates[,] 21 (43%) inmates had [thiopental] concentrations consistent with awareness." By failing to appreciate the significance of the percentage sign in the study, the BBC and Wikipedia have inflated the findings of the study from 43% to almost 90%. Error corrected.

replies: text: It might do you some good to read the article you profess to be faithful to.

thread_title: False reporting of Lancet study

message: This has been inserted a few times.  While it is true that many Jews were probably executed using some form of a "lethal injection," the reference here is not appropriate.  The reason being is that it politicizes the history.  A good example is where you could write that gun control was supported by Pol Pot and Stalin. While it may be cogent to the methods by which either dictator asserted their control over the population and valid within the individual articles on the dictators, the reference would not belong in the Gun Control article. The pro-gun crowd could mention that the citizenry owning firearms is a deterence to total governmental control, but stating that Pol Pot and Stalin supported gun control is a POV attempt to skew the debate. Likewise, that is the same attempt here.ER MD 08:44, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Three different drugs 

message: The biggest risk is that the IV is not set into the vein -- licenced medics refuse to take part in the procedure and many of the executees are drug users who have damaged blood vessels, as happened recently in Texas.
A different method might be to restrain the inmate and induce him or her to breathe a gas mixture containing N2, CO2 and O2 at ambient humidity. The reflex to breathe is triggered by the presence of dissolved CO2 in the blood, therefore by breathing a gas containing moderately elevated CO2 levels for say 30 to an hour prior to the execution proper, slight breathlessness could be maintained and the prisoner prevented from resisting.
If the execution was to proceed, some time after the warrant was read the O2 content could be removed from the supplied mixture. As little as two breaths of a 0% O2 gas are thought to cause loss of unconciousness (this is a risk when working with purified gases, should a leak occur and build up undetected)
Since the gases used are not poisonous but merely asphyxiating, there would be no great danger to the prison guards. It would avoid the need to ask an non-medical professional to set an IV line.
:Or you could just put a plastic bag over his head. In your words, the prisoner could be "prevented from resisting", and no fancy equipment would be required at all. For me, the acknowledged difficulties with venous access are an indication that medical procedures should not be used to produce harm.Preacherdoc 12:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In all the other articles on capital punishment, the word used is "condemned" (or, for a few, "victim" - although that is POV).  It doesn't seem right to use "patient" to describe those undergoing lethal injection -- this is an execution first, and a "medical" procedure second (if at all).  --Shadowlink1014 05:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of word "patient" 

message: I reverted the edit changing all instances of "condemned" to "criminal offender".  First of all, "criminal offender" is wordy, especially when you're repeating it many times.  Second of all, it's not as accurate a term.  A "condemned" person is just that -- they have been condemned to be executed.  Thus in all instances, this term is correct.  "Criminal offender" is only correct when the condemned has committed a crime... he or she may be a victim of miscarriage of justice (and indeed there are many instances of wrongful execution) - thus this term is not always applicable.  It's also not neccessary for someone who is executed to be even an alleged criminal... for example, the Holocaust.   Finally, "criminal offender" takes the focus away from what this article is about:  execution... as far as the procedure of lethal injection goes, criminality is not as directly related as the simple idea of someone being condemned to execution.  --Shadowlink1014 02:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: in fact, the state of New York had enacted death penalty legislation (sometime in the 1990's as a consequence of the election of George Pataki as governor), the method of execution of the sentence of death was by lethal injection, and a small number of defendants were sentenced to death under such statutes.  but not one single person was put to death under such statutes and the Supreme Court of the State of New York eventually struck down the law, commuting such death sentences to life, and there is no death penalty law in force in NY at present.  the problem is that the only state that is green meaning "Once used lethal injection" is NY, but the state of New York has never, not once ever used lethal injection to put anyone to death.
also, the state of New Hampshire may have a death penalty on the books, but there is not one single person sentenced to death in that state and the state has not even constructed a lethal injection death facility.
i think the map needs to be redone with better, more accurate captions.  i could edit the caption (regarding NY), but NH (and perhaps some other state that may presently have a death penalty statute on the books, but has never put it to use, i am not aware of any other than NH and NJ, the latter has persons on death row, but has not executed any with lethal injection) should be shaded differently.  i do not have the tools to do graphical editing to such an image. r b-j 03:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I am a student, I am going to be working on this article from now on. If anyone has any helpful hints or would like to give me any suggestions for this page, please contact me through Wikipedia. I have some ideas to include more on the topic of Lethal Injection in more countries than the ones stated in the article, maybe expand a bit more on capital punishment in china. I am very excited to be here and helping with the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kay2916 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

message: The section on lethal injection in China is very minimal, as it is only two sentences long. I believe there should be more on the topic of lethal inection in China as the death penalty is no longer a state secret and that is outdated information. Lethal injection in China was legalized in 1996  and since then the number of van shootings for capital punishment have largely decreased. Lethal injection in China was legalized in 1996 because it is a cheaper means of capital punishment. The cost of a single dose of lethal injection in China is cheaper at 300 yuan than the 700 yuan it costs for the firing squad for the van shootings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kay2916 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

message: What is the difference between green and blue? Don't they both mean that a state no longer uses lethal injection, but once did?
Also: NH should not be orange, they abolished the death penalty.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.118.241.67 (talk) 22:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Green: The state actually used lethal injection, but no longer does.  Dark blue: The state allowed, but then changed to disallow use of lethal injection. In the period where it was allowed, it was never actually used. SlowJog (talk) 21:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
