...seeming marginality of gains. One potential solution, which Blaze and Bowling Jr. suggested, would be to give inmates a barbiturate that would be lethal but painless rather than the three-drug combination. But the Court hastily dismissed such a proposal as only “a slightly or marginally safer alternative.” There are many other options out there, and so long as capital punishment is permitted by the Court, we ought to pursue and practice only the least painful process of execution.

"We've had a very concerted effort for probably the past 7 to 10 years using data to identify risk in the system well before accidents happen," Duquette says. "That's what has helped reduce our accident rate over the years - getting information from the industry, from the airlines about where potential problems may crop...
