| The Amercian lady that survived 2 lethal injections 14:22 - Oct 1 with 1609 views | Billywitch | Sorry if already discussed and I haven't seen it. Her sentence was to be put to death by lethal injection, after 2 she's still alive, and instead of applying a 3rd or 4th or 5th to finish the job, they rushed her to hospital. If you intend to kill someone for their crimes, and they dont die, surely finish the job instead of trying to nurse them back to life to then put them through it again? Or is my mind operating in a far too simplistic way here? |  | | |  |
| The Amercian lady that survived 2 lethal injections on 14:47 - Oct 1 | Guthrum | They have legal authority to apply a second dose if the first doesn't work, but nothing specified beyond that. It's not clear if they even had more doses. There is a long tradition with executions that someone who survives one or more attempts then gets a reprieve or their sentence commuted. Tho less so in the USA than some other places. |  |

It’s hideous. Perversely the barbaric law that condemned her to the sentence could well be the same thing that saves her (if she survives). It’s wrong on so many levels imo, but there we are. I can’t change it. |  |

As I understand it, they are sourcing the drugs almost literally through back channels, which are opaque and not available to scrutinise because normal companies wont make them. |  |

Or, more precisely, won't sell them. A lot of them were coming from companies in Europe, which are refusing to export drugs used in capital punishment. |  |

Yep the drug companies don’t want to be associated with drugs that kill and I believe another issue is that the whole process is performed by amateurs as doctors and nurses are “signed up” to the Hippocratic Oath and can’t take part. |  |
