A ruling on the challenge to lethal injection procedures in California is expected soon, reports the Death Penalty Information Center.
The presiding judge asked for additional briefings on the following:
- The monitoring an inmates conscious state during the execution process.
-Whether EEG monitoring had a role to play in reducing suffering.
-Whether medical doctors were required to supervise these executions.
-Whether pancuronium could be left out of the three drug sequence to reduce the chance of undetected pain.
-If a sole drug execution using barbiturate was viable.

I wonder how many medical practitioners will be willing to participate in state sanctioned murder?
Trying to make a barbaric act seem humane by introducing sophisticated medical techniques is ghastly. If they're concerned about being humane, abolish the death penalty!
I agree, meva. A truely ghastly and misguided quest.
