Singapore may introduce lethal injection

laurence82 SG

Mabbe they should spend more time thinking how to govern SG properly than to put in so much effort thinking how to kill a bunch of people

Its scary when the state adopt a Naziseque attitude of doing away with some people.

don't worry they will. cos there will be walk overs galore. all they need to do is get 3 pple to declare pple who want to stand for office as unsuitable

Wrong priorities because there is a veritable lack of checks on policy intent and implementation.

Like I said many times, the Death Penalty belongs in the same era as the Third Reich, not in modern times.

Ah, but lethal injection invovles several stages. You have a medically qualified person to administer the tubes. His part is done now, and he leaves the room. Someone else will then be responsible for activating the infusion. This can be done via the press of a button.

What this means is that there is diffusion of responsibility. It will also be less traumatising to the persons invovled since death via injection can be quite an uneventful affair. You first sedate the guy. Only when he is unconscious do you release the poison.

Well, according to the movies at least.

Yes, Criminals of violent crimes are usually not rational calculators

We also have studies that suggest that most criminals either did not think they would get caught (rightly so, since the vast majority of crimes remain undetected), or deliberately blocked out all thoughts of the consequences of their actions.

Yet, i remain unconvinced that individual deterrence completely doesn't work. The thing about all these research is that they do not know about those who *have* been deterred. These criminals are criminals because they have committed the crime and have been caught.

Re Innocent deaths, I agree. That imo is the strongest argument agaisnt the death penalty. We must recognize that the Criminal Justice System does not always get things right, and there is no going back from murdering someone. Morally speaking, i would rather we just keep them in jail for the rest of their lives.

Dream on. What if PAP decides to split Singapore up into 100 wards (so as to ensure that local interests are given a voice), each needing 3 candidates (so that we can mantain social and racial harmony), with each candidate needing to plump up a 10K deposit which they stand to lose should they not garner at least 5% of the votes?

We all know what will happen then won't we?

Then our future will be gone.talk about short term interests vs long term national survival.

Then we can also have dramatic rescues in which the corrupt doctor quickly enters the room, certifies death, then when everyone is not watching, inject antidotes hidden in his lab coat pocket into the IV infusion. Result = the condemned man leaves the prison, alive, and has the last laugh.

if this is adopted by the singapore and also to Nyugen if singapore go ahead, i think the Australia Govt will send agents to infiltrade the prison and apply the antidote to Nyugen after killing the doctor or the govt will bribe a doctor to apply
antidote to Nyugen and then pretend to deliver him to the mortuary,and on the way,go to a drain/sewage pipe and quietly escape the prison and deliver him to agents waiting in a helicopter...

all this gathered from agent movies Laughing
