lethal injection

Lethal injection is a method used to carry out the death penalty by administering a series of drugs through a vein. Typically, it involves three drugs: one to induce unconsciousness, another to relax the muscles, and a third to stop the heart. The goal is to cause death efficiently and humanely, minimizing pain. It is considered by some as a humane form of execution, though debates about ethics and effectiveness continue. The process is carried out in a controlled medical setting, often overseen by trained professionals, to ensure proper administration.
