Though I am not in favor of capital punishment, in defense of what is being said above it sounds like lethal injection was honestly believed to be painless.
It is just a hard subject to get people to agree upon, because for many people it is so very personal.
I've always thought Babylon 5's concept of telepaths and "mindwhipes" to be an interesting take. I think they called it "Death of Personality", and in the show there was still a debate Pro/Con this. It really begins to touch upon what "makes" a person a person.
