      Is there a citation on the necessity of citations? Surely someone in the academic world has written such a work, if not several.

        The whole point of using gas or chemicals for the death isnt to make the punishment humane - the death penalty is not humane in any way - its to make it easier on the people doing the killing. No mess, no fuss.
