With all the renewed talk about death-on-demand for terminally ill people, one is aware of an inconsistency in the arguments of those in favour.
In American, which still has a death penalty, there is considerable room for error in the means used to kill people. Sometimes the substances work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the substances have such a botched effect that the subject dies in mouth-frothing agony.
There is also a great deal of disquiet from companies who are asked to produce the substances used to kill people - often they are not happy that their products are being used in this way.
Why is it so difficult for trained professionals in America to kill people, and yet we are told by the pro-death lobby in this country that doctors would be able to do it easily and comfortably?
