Breaking News!!--change in death penalty method in USA??

Question

Georgia lawmaker Doug Teper (Democrat) proposed a bill to replace the state's electric chair with the guillotine. Teper's reasoning? It would allow for death-row inmates as organ donors, he says, since the "Blade makes a clean cut and leaves vital organs intact." Now the bill is passed yesterday!!!!

In 1995, a move to replace the electric chair with lethal injection (poisoning) failed in Georgia's assembly because legislators feared that prisoners could argue for a new sentencing hearing if the state changed the law.

The Guillotine, invented by the French Dr. Guillotine, was mainly used in the 18th and 19th century and chops off a person's head. It hasn't been used for decades in any country on this planet.

Answer 1

Hooray. Now I can tell people: " To the Guillotine!"

Answer 2

Where's your source?



"Breaking News!!--Loc Ness Monster found on Bill Clinton's Sofa!!"



The Guillotine is cruel and inhuman, as is the electric chair. If anything, they would replace it with lethal injection, which there is a lot less suffering involved.

Answer 3

The guillotine is more humane than electric chair or lethal injection, so if you have to be barbaric and kill someone, at least it's a humane method.

Answer 4

I'm thinking using a sedative to put the person sentenced to death asleep prior to using the guillotine would be okay. I've always been in favor of some sort of death penalty.

Answer 5

This was 13 years ago. Just trying to stir up the hornets nest? Besides by the time most of these people are put to death, they are to old for their organs to be of any use. We need to speed up the process, so we can empty out death row, and save the lives of countless prison guards.

Answer 6

O.O I think the guillotine was last used in France in 1952.



Wow...And people think Texas is radical.



I've not quite got the stomach for watching someone being beheaded, I'm afraid.

Answer 7

Getting the news from Fido's kennel? This happened in the 90's.

Answer 8

Makes sense. It's quick, painless, allows for organ transplant and it's environmentally friendly. But, if this does pass some uppity liberals will loose their minds. I mean it, heads will roll.

Answer 9

the guillotine is a much more humane method of execution.



I, however, am against the death penalty, although some times it is difficult not to wish death to some particularly heinous criminal.

Answer 10

According to the revision, the method is used only at the request of the prisoner. The condemned have the option to be executed by electrocution, if they so desire.

Answer 11

How can they maintain organ health without blood pumping to the body? I don't know that seems cruel but, I don't know---I don't know if I would want a killers organ anyway

Answer 12

yikes... personnaly i wouldnt want an inmates organs probably no good anyway... but I dont know cutting head off thats kinda scary

Answer 13

This lines up with the bible. Those who refuse to take the mark of the beast will have their head chopped off.

Answer 14

That would make some good ole public entertainment.

I love the French they've always had such class.



Chop, chop.



No one can beat the English though. Hanged, drawn and quartered.

Answer 15

Omg that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me, but so does the electric chair.

Answer 16

Wow.......................isn't the guillotine (not that word - but some type of death described) mentioned in Scripture during the last days?

Answer 17

Heh

Answer 19

Answer 20
