I think it would be harder to pull the switch for the electric chair, wouldn't it?

Since I'm against tbe death penalty, that'd be pretty ironic.

In the old days, executioners were mostly criminals who had their own heads on the chopping block, but given a reprieve on the condition that they would execute other criminals, and if they did a poor job, they would go back the block. Nowadays, I just assume it pays well.

Yeah, that would be a job a lot of people would be jealous of. I could act all gangsta and be like I kill people dog

Is that a job you think you could do? As a job, maybe, as I don't hold a high regard for life. But if it was someone who I definitely wanted gone from this world, I'd have no problem pulling the lever.

Nowadays, I just assume it pays well. source? I learned that from a video I watched just a couple of days ago. I'm sure the source can be found there if it's not a source itself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=esAxw-g41GU

No thanks, sounds like a great way to become emotionally dead.

I'll let someone else take a stab at it.

I've never used a needle before, so I don't have an answer for that.

I'd be able to do it I think, but I'd probably regret it afterwards.
It seems like a job that would fuck with your head.
I am against the death penalty, but mostly only because of the chance of an innocent person being executed.

No! I can't stand needles or the sight of blood. Really?
Needles don't bother me, but blood certainly does. And since I am against the death penalty, administering lethal injections is a no no for me.

No, I wouldn't take that job. If you take the job, I believe you are personally responsible for killing that person, doesn't matter if it's for the state or for someone else. YOU have blood on your own hands. As a child I've seen lethal injection being administered to dogs. It was frightening.

Is that a job you think you could do? In very few cases do I think I could do that. Certainly Ted Bundy and the Golden State Killer deserve whatever they get. But for the most part, I think no. I am not for the death sentence.
