There is a risk of needle stick to the person initiating the injection. A lot of infection control is to protect healthcare providers as well as the patient.
Which is silly, because just filling a room with nitrogen or carbon dioxide would be incredibly cheap and completely painless. Hell, fill a room with nitrous oxide and go out high af. Still cheaper than lethal injection.
But the suffering is the point, so it won't happen.
I just had a horrible thought. If you could suffer for twice federal minimum wage before you died, how long would you do it? How much money (assuming it didn't go to your family or anything, just whoever gets paid when someone is executed)) would you drain?
What would be the motivation? Also twice the minimum wage is like 15$/hour, no way anyone would suffer bring executed slowly just for that little money
7.25$ according to my quick Google search, but I live in a country with a higher minimum wage too.
Still don't understand the motivation to suffer for an hour for some guy to earn 20 bucks.
You can only realistically do this so many times before it becomes so dull that the risk of botching the injection becomes substantial. Eventually it's going to turn into a dull fish hook and/or break.
Well its not exactly sandpaper, bits its paper with a abrasive applied to it that is equivalent of 4k grit. I use it to polish acrylic pens when i make them.
In the military, that makes sense because when you’re out in the field, you may have limited supplies.
In most settings, it would cost more in labor to resharpen than it would be to just buy a new needle.
The money saved is so negligible that there's really no point in the risk. What if the injector (idk if its a doctor) pokes themselves? Or anyone handling it in between uses
You don't seem to understand that this is r/CrazyIdeas where you get ideas like shoving a dog whistle up your butt so your farts are silent. Also, you can have more dogs in your life. 🤪
I understand the point, however lethal injection can be botched and the point isn’t to kill someone weeks later from an infection. Correct me if I’m wrong but if one method for killing an inmate doesn’t work, they can’t use that same method again. Not sure how that would work legally if it was botched and they still died. Alternatively I believe there was a case with an inmate that had the needle already in him and an emergency order was given to stop the injection, where the inmate did die from infection. It may be pointless most of the time but you never know what could happen!
