How would you want to die?
A few nights ago, I was watching MSNBC News. That had a special on about how life is in prison. Showing everything from what prisoners go through everyday and showing all the way up to death row im-mates
What really got me was how they were showing the Electric chair, lethal injection room, and most shocking of them all to me which I never knew excised was you have a choice of “being shot to death with gun”
The guards sit you down in a chair with no back on the chair, so the bullets go right threw you. Before they shoot you to death, the guard puts a white X on your chest and before you know it, your shot to death.
who in there right minds would want to be shot to death instead of the Lethal Injection where you won’t feel a thing? I mean you got a choice between being shot to death, the electric chair, and the Injection, but I could never imagine someone wanting to end my life by shooting me.
If you were on death row, which of the 3 would u pick to die from? The chair? Lethal Injection? Or being shot to death?

That's quite possibly the simplest question I've ever seen asked on this board. I'll keep clean and never have to make that choice. 
But in keeping with the spirit, I'd be shot to death, b/c if I did something that warrented death row, they'd never take me alive.

no no no ...I'm asking you guys what your choice would be between 3 options.... being shot to death? the chair? or Lethal Injection! 
I'm not asking to say how you want to die in this life time, just if you were on death row.
I'm curious to know what one out of the 3 people would choose more of?

Depends on how good of a shot the guy they will use is. 
I would choose to be shot to death. I'd move the X from my chest to my head too.
Then I read this....
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment
Wahington Post says
Anesthetizes, have to be administered precisely in the right places in the right veins to properly knock you unconscious, But do to the paralyzes which can just be stuck in a muscle they would not be able to move any muscles so it only appears peaceful and painless to the observer. In reality you might as well be sticking a plastic bag over you're head and a needle in you're heart.
Now it's confirmed, I'd personally would rather face the firing squad.

Lethal injection, the most common method of execution, generally consists of a sequence of three drugs: one that anesthetizes, a second that paralyzes and a third that stops the heart. Without proper anesthesia, the study says, inmates would endure suffocation and extreme pain.

I just caught that when you quoted me, I'm multi tasking and running on 2 hours sleep in 3 days. I keep doing lots of funny things. Off to edit now!
