  • Whatever one thinks of capital punishment, lethal injection in the US today doesn't offer the certainty of a swift end, because of a horrifying combination of a lack of data, historical quirks and uninformed decision makers. Compared with other methods of execution, lethal injection has a clinical air. Here, Nowogrodzki opines that regardless of one's view on the death penalty, there's scant evidence that the use of lethal injection is humane.
