Give the condemned a choice.

I have a suggestion. About how to carry out executions. Allow the condemned to commit suicide. Any way they wish. Drinking hemlock. Falling on a sword. Sleeping pills. Jumping off a bridge. The hangman’s noose. Blowing their brains out.  Any novel and inventive way. If they prefer being strapped into an electric chair or going to the guillotine  or being burned alive at the stake – well, then so be it. Give everyone on death row a choice.  If they want to turn themselves over to the botching executioners in Texas or Oklahoma, and suffer excruciating pain in the process of dying, that’s all right, too. –Jim Broede
