feel free to star if you think this is interesting or just funny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
good question!.
well the point of sterilizing needles is to prevent the passing of diseases and infection but since the person is gonna die anyway!.!.!.!. i dont know!.
there is probably some law somwhere that says that the needles need to be sterilized and if not then the family can probably sue or something!. pointless to me since they are going to die no matter what!.
it also might have to due with the fact of what is going to happen to the needle afterward!. you dont want to spread diseases elsewhere!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, it's not funny!. It's not even true!. Needles aren't "sterilized", they are used once and thrown away!.

Needles have to be properly disposed of after each use, so they can't just save an old needle to use on someone being put to death, they're going to just open a new one like always - it's just standard procedure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok, here's mine, for what its worth!. I think that if you stop caring, about standards things fall apart quite fast!.

I do not like like idea of the death penalty, it mimics the crime too closely!. We should be more humane, and yes it IS a stretch and no I have not been tested!.

But the idea is that Society deals in justice and not punishment!.

If you start to let standards slip, you start to let your own humanity slip!.

It is very important, if there is to be an execution on behalf of society, that it refects the just and true aspects of society!.

It shows that society is not the brute or where ARE we!? Justice is as humane as possible!.

If not then we are in danger of becoming the beast ourselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't want them to die from infection before the poison kicks in!.
Do they really sterilise the needle, or just use a sterilised one from a disposable pack!. Reason I ask this is that I do not believe that the death sentence is something that is carried out on a daily basis, and a needle which is not disposable would be the object of rust and this implies a blunting of the needle over time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because it's a medical procedure and sterilization and cleanliness rules still have to be followed, for the protection of everyone involved!.

But people dying by lethal injection can't be organ donors!. The chemicals given to them makes their bodies and organs toxic and unusable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it may have something to do with the "cruel and unusual punishment" thing!. i mean really, they are already going to kill you, why add insult to injury by sticking you with some infected needle!.
plus if you were the one administering the drug would you want to handle a contaminated needle!? didn't think soWww@Answer-Health@Com

You know, it actually is funny, but you know, even as we administer something that can kill the person anyway, we still have to respect & honor the person as the way we should be!. After all, we are all people & we deserve a little respect once in awhile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's more humane!. i think the person that brought up organ donation has a good point!. but also, they would want to have a sterilized needle in case the person delivering the shot gets poked or something!. it's more of a precaution for the administrator than anything, in my opinion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Legally to cover themselves under accordance to Humane Law set by the Government to make sure no person can say that the guilty suffered as they are injected!.

Which in my opinion, if you kill someone and are caught, then you should be killed the same way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because of procedure!.
And law suits!.
It is really stupid!. But someone might say that they were not laid to rest Humanely, if they got a bump on there skin from a needle!.
It is the dumbest thing I have ever seen,

I like the chinese method,
They shoot them in the head, and send the bill for the bullet to the family!.



GOOD LUCK

I love this question! I've always wondered that!. I guess maybe if the needle was tainted, it might have some effect on administering the poison!? Unlikely, but that's the only explanation I can think of!.

Most probably it's just standard procedure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is a very interesting question, i don't have an answer for you but am curious to what others have to say about it !
I think maybe it's because the needles are already sterilized or come brand new in a pack!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Makes you wonder!?!? I know there are all kinds of answers for this, but the truth is many people are all ready against the death penalty so to use a dirty needle would be "inhumane!" but that is crazy to think about good question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

CODE OF ETHICS says so for fair treatment of all inmates to receive adequate medical care!. That applies to everybody as well!. Every needle should be sterilized!. No matter who it is intenened for because otherwise how can we guarantee that any needle is safe!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

heh,heh! this is why we need the good old fashioned firing squad!. it's quick, cheap, painless ( if you care about murderers, rapists and pedophiles having painful deaths) and none of the shooters knows who delivers the fatal shot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I believe it is for the safety of the person inserting the needle!. They wouldn't want to get stuck with a dirty needle if they happened to stick themself while handling it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I case you don't die, so you can't sue them for giving you aids or anything!.

Or!.

What if you are an organ donor!? Don't want the goods to be contaminated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe to make sure that the killing solution would seep into the veins without any interruption of unwanted agents/chemicals that may fail the purpose of lethal injection!.!.!.

hahahaha!.!.?Www@Answer-Health@Com

the gov't really just knocks them out temporarily romeo and juliette style!. then the gov't performs science experiments like mind control and zombie-ism on themWww@Answer-Health@Com

They use multiple needles and they come sterilized!. It would take more effort to find non-sterile needles than sterile ones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe the general lack of dirty needles lying around the death chamber means they have to open a new one when they need it!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know it's interesting but , I think that is shouldn't be that humain really they should pay for the deed they done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Standard procedure!. Regardless of what is being done you want to have a clean working environment!. More or less to protect ourselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, because they don't want to spread diseases!. This is funny and must be a joke (the question)Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is a very good question might as well just keep reusing needles there is no point in cleaning themWww@Answer-Health@Com

hum good question yeah i guess its for organ doners or somthing!?

but then agin why would anyone want a organ from a mass murdererWww@Answer-Health@Com

Otherwise it might be cruel and unusual punishment!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good question, you'd think they wouldn't care since the sucker is going to die anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

All needles are disposable now!.!.!.they are disposed of after every use!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

same reason they sterilize the bullets for a firing squad!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

incase they sue for dying by aids or some infection instead of the actual drug!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
