Mary’s execution

Mary’s execution involved administering a lethal injection, which is designed to cause death humanely and painlessly. This process typically includes inserting a small IV line into a vein and delivering a series of medications: first an anesthetic to induce unconsciousness, then a drug to stop breathing, and finally a chemical to stop the heart. The goal is to ensure that the person is unaware and experiences no pain. The procedure is carried out according to strict protocols intended to be humane, though it remains a subject of ethical debate.
