Thank you, Howard, for a sane and reasoned take on a difficult subject. The subject gets truly weird at times. One anti-lethal-injection legal campaign, rejected by the courts, pointed out that thiopental sodium, pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride had not been given an FDA "safe and effective" approval for the indication of execution. It turns out that the FDA does, in fact, approve drugs for the specific purpose of veterinary euthanasia, and, in keeping with the regulations on drug approvals, designates them "safe and effective" for the marketed purpose. Think about that one for a while. Moderate consumption of ethanol, in your choice of flavor, is usually safe and effective for the resulting brain tilt. |
