I think that only the ghoulish would want to see capital punishment carried out.

If the death sentence were to be reinstated (which, out of interest, I don't think it ever will) then the method that it is carried out should be as humane as possible.

Margaret, I think that is the most level headed post on this topic, have read most of the posts, but thought it better not to express my views, chance they be taken the wrong way, but I think you have summed it up with thought and care.
p.s. worthy of + Karma, but the system won't let me at this point in time
