Speaking of slam dunks... Fentanyl being so readily available and lethal, why isn't it used for sanctioned executions?they also

I was asked the same thing by my neighbor two days ago. It makes sense that they should use it. I have no answer other than that I agree they should look at that.

Lots of things are cheap and lethal, but they also have to be humane. I can't find any info on what a lethal does of fentanyl feels like when it's happening. Obviously, if some is writhing in apparent pain, that's not good.

But surely, the process by which one is put under deep sedation for surgery could be used if combined with a final dose of something lethal.

And isn't dying from carbon monoxide poisoning "painless"? (As in a "he died peacefully in his sleep" type of death.)
